KHJN is committed to improving the health of women and families throughout Kentucky. We work with a variety of organizations on education and training, outreach, organizing, and collaborating on events and projects that further the health and well-being of individuals and communities.

Kentucky is a state rich in culture and natural resources, with a history of resilience and a strong sense of community and family.  Kentucky’s roots are deep and embedded in perseverance, creativity, and solidarity.  KHJN believes that building on these assets is central to meeting the challenges facing Kentucky’s communities in a respectful and sustainable way.

KHJN recognizes the importance of addressing the role that culture, gender, race, income, geographic location, immigration status, sexuality, and educational attainment play in health status and health access for individuals and communities as a whole.  We also understand the issues that social service, social justice, education, and health organizations address are interconnected and affect each other in myriad ways.By working across disciplines and issues, KHJN addresses the root causes of health, justice and equity as we also build greater understanding and support for each other and each other’s work.
