Snowflake Streak 2027The temperatures may be dropping, but excitement is heating up for Health Partnership Clinic’s (HPC) 2027 Snowflake Streak!

We’re thrilled to announce that $32,540 has already been committed in sponsorship support for our annual fundraising walk, taking place Saturday, January 30, 2027, at Resurrection West in Olathe.

Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, organizations and individuals, we’re off to a strong start. But we’re not at the finish line yet! We need more sponsors, more teams and more community members to join us in making a difference.

Why We Walk

For many individuals and families in our community, accessing affordable health care isn’t always easy.

Some are working hard to make ends meet but don’t have health insurance. Others are underinsured, living on fixed incomes or facing financial challenges that make getting the care they need difficult.

That’s why we walk.

Every step taken during the Snowflake Streak helps support HPC’s mission of providing high-quality, affordable and accessible health care, regardless of a patient’s ability to pay.

As the only nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center serving Johnson, Miami and Franklin counties, HPC provides essential services, including primary care, pediatrics, dental, prenatal and women’s health, behavioral health and substance use treatment.

In the past year, HPC served approximately 11,000 patients through more than 28,000 visits. We also provided $2.3 million in discounted care through our Sliding Fee Discount Program, helping make health care more affordable for patients and families.

The Snowflake Streak is about more than walking a mile on one of the coldest days of the year. It’s about ensuring that cost is never the reason someone goes without essential health care.
