Coming Soon!
As you may be aware, the Kansas City Wellness Center building was completed in 2021. However, its opening was delayed, fully dependent on a determination by the Department of Labor (DOL). Since the wellness center was built on land owned by the Apprenticeship Fund, the DOL had to approve for Carpenters Wellness Center in Kansas City, a union-owned building, to open for business. Many thanks to the MACRC leadership, Training Fund Trustees, and their legal teams for their dedication to improving healthcare for our families. In January 2024, the DOL approved the terms of the settlement agreement with the union.
Next Steps
While it’s an exciting announcement, there’s a lot of work to do before the Kansas City Wellness Center’s doors can open to serve our participants and their families at the same level of care as our wellness center in St. Louis. By direction of the Board of Trustees, the health plan is already working diligently to secure partners and services that meet our needs. Please watch for more information as we update you over the coming months.
