Why Under Par?
Most of the time, it's good to be above average! However, Kansas is currently ranked 8th in the nation for opioid prescribing - not a good average to beat. We know this is not a problem with a one-size-fits-all solution, nor is it something we can tackle overnight. We're committed to an interprofessional, local conversation to start to bring our counties and our state closer to average or Under Par.
