Healthy Options for Planeview is a health education and outreach program that serves as a field site for the Physician Assistant Department at Wichita State University. Students and faculty from more than 30 WSU departments and six other area universities engage in teaching, research, practice and service activities at HOP. We are one of only 7 HETCs (health education and training center sites) in Kansas. Working together through HOP, the community and the universities meet to heed the voices of Planeview and nearby neighborhoods. Together we are able to bring much needed health and social services to the low-income, richly diverse residents. Several Universities are involved with HOP. They include:

Kansas State University
Kansas University School of Medicine – Kansas City
Newman University
Friends University
Bethel College
Southwestern College
Tabor College
