The KCK Chamber board members participate in a wide range of community-building activities, including revitalization efforts underway in Wyandotte County.
“Providence is one of the largest employers in western Wyandotte County, employing more than 1,000 health care professionals and supporting an annual payroll of more than $73,000,000 in 2011,” Nyp says. “My participation with the KCK Chamber board is another way the hospital can be involved with our community and extend our healing ministry beyond the hospital’s walls.”
Nyp brings a proven track record of 25 years’ experience to the KCK Chamber Board. He has served in executive leadership roles overseeing mergers, developing integrated health care systems, and motivating health care professionals to improve patient care while enhancing financial performance.
