Morris County Hospital

Morris County Hospital, located in Council Grove, Kansas, is a non-profit, tax-exempt corporate entity registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) until January 2026. While specific details about the hospital's core services are not provided in the source data, the organization has been consistently engaged in federal grant sub-awards related to public health nutrition programming. The hospital is registered to receive federal grant sub-awards and has demonstrated a sustained relationship with the Kansas Department of Health & Environment as a local agency partner.

The hospital exclusively receives federal grant sub-awards for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), a critical federal nutrition assistance initiative. Through these sub-awards, Morris County Hospital administers WIC programming at the local agency level, performing essential functions such as determining participant eligibility, providing nutrition education, and issuing nutritional benefits. The grant awards, which have been consistently received annually (in November 2022, October 2023, and October 2024), support comprehensive program operations including staff salaries and benefits, program and office supplies, staff travel and per diems, training expenses, and both direct and indirect programmatic costs. The Kansas Department of Health & Environment serves as the prime grantee, channeling federal funding to Morris County Hospital to support this vital nutrition assistance and education program for vulnerable populations.
