SENT, Inc. is thrilled to announce the launch of the Southside Wellness Clinic, an express care facility designed to provide accessible healthcare services to the residents of Southeast Topeka. The clinic is set to open its doors on January 27th, 2025.

Bridging Healthcare Gaps in Southeast Topeka

SENT is dedicated to ensuring that every individual and family in Southeast Topeka has access to affordable healthcare. Our mission is to provide tailored solutions for all community members, meeting them where they are, whether they are eligible for Medicaid, fall within the 100%-400% Federal Poverty Guidelines, or require alternative low-cost options.

Southeast Topeka is located in a region with the highest rates of uninsured individuals in Kansas, particularly among children. According to recent reports, this area faces significant healthcare coverage gaps, with many families unable to access or afford the care they need. Nationwide, approximately 27 million Americans are uninsured, and 41% of adults refrain from seeking healthcare due to cost. These disparities are even more pronounced in Southeast Topeka, where a large percentage of families are also struggling with high-deductible health plans or lack a primary care provider altogether. This unmet need for healthcare access and coverage drives SENT’s commitment to offering comprehensive, affordable healthcare options, ensuring that no one is left behind in our community.

“Healthcare coverage is a tremendous stressor for many in our community,” said Johnathan Sublet, Executive Director of SENT. “Without it, people delay seeking care, sometimes with life-altering consequences.”

The urgency for this clinic was underscored by a recent incident involving one of our volunteer Neighbor Advocates, who suffered a stroke while volunteering. Had the Southside Wellness Clinic been operational, immediate intervention might have prevented severe complications.
