Together, We Impact: $12,596.25 Raised for Kids’ Healing
In 2024, the Azura Impact card raised $12,596.25 for Children’s Miracle Network at Stormont Vail! Thanks to our partners at Azura Credit Union and all of you for helping kids heal!
The Community Impact Card from Azura Credit Union lets you help local children while you shop! When you use the Stormont Vail Community Impact Visa Debit Card, Azura donates five cents to the Children’s Miracle Network at Stormont Vail.
Since 2020, Azura has contributed $35,075.90 to the Children’s Miracle Network at Stormont Vail. This funding helps bring critical life-saving treatments and healthcare services, innovative research, vital pediatric medical equipment, and child life services closer to children and families, eliminating the need to travel far from home.
The Community Impact Card is free with any checking account. If you have an Azura Visa Debit Card and want to switch, call Azura customer service at (800) 432-2470.

Register for the 2025 Stormont Vail Health Bi-State Stroke Consortium Symposium
We invite all healthcare professionals involved in stroke care – nurses, therapists, coordinators, and social workers – to our annual Bi-State Stroke Consortium Symposium on Friday, March 28, 2025 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Stormont Vail Hospital Pozez Education Center.
Navigating the complexities of medical care and coordinating among a diverse healthcare team can be challenging for stroke patients, their families, and providers during the recovery process. As a healthcare professional, you can learn how to tackle these challenges and enhance your practice at the 2025 Stormont Vail Health Bi-State Stroke Consortium Symposium. Experts from Stormont Vail, Techs EMS, and Kansas Rehabilitation Hospital will address these challenges and enhance your skills with valuable insights on:
- Post-stroke depression
- Effective communication with aphasic patients
- New treatments like Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)
Experience the human side of stroke care through personal stories from stroke survivors and their family members. These testimonials offer a unique perspective on recovery and caregiving.

We together,
Dr. Kenagy
