KC CARE offers medical and behavioral health telehealth appointments, as appropriate for our patients. We’re proud to offer telehealth to support our patients and their social distancing needs and preferences. We are committed to making sure that your health needs are still being met. If you have chronic health conditions or other diagnoses requiring routine care or medication refills, you still need your primary care provider to offer expert health advice.
If you have questions about existing or future visits, feel free to call us at 816.753.5144. Our schedulers can help or may refer you to a nurse for additional discussion.
