Kiowa County Health Department

Kiowa County Health Nurse, a division of the Kiowa County Health Department located in Greensburg, Kansas, is a local government entity that serves as a subgrantee for federal health and human services programs. As a county-level health organization, the entity provides essential public health services and administers federally funded nutrition and family planning programs designed to support vulnerable populations in its region. The organization maintains current registration with SAM.gov through October 1, 2026, and operates as a recipient of federal grant funding through the Kansas Department of Health & Environment.

Kiowa County Health Nurse has received three federal grant sub-awards, all administered through the Kansas Department of Health & Environment as the prime grantee. The entity provides critical services through two distinct federal programs. Under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), the organization has received sub-grant awards dated October 1, 2024, and October 27, 2023, to administer local-level program operations. These WIC grants fund staff salaries and benefits for personnel who determine program eligibility, deliver nutrition education, and process WIC benefits issuance. The funding also supports program and office supplies, staff travel and per diem expenses, training initiatives, and both direct and indirect operational costs. Additionally, the entity received a Title X Family Planning Services sub-award dated July 5, 2023, under which it provides family planning information and services to individuals in its region, with particular emphasis on serving low-income and high-risk populations. Through this federal program, Kiowa County Health Nurse facilitates access to comprehensive reproductive health services and additional health services designed to improve overall health outcomes for Kansas families unable to access care through other sources, while maintaining compliance with Title X of the Public Health Service Act.
