Stronger together

Helping people in Kent and Medway to lead their best and healthiest lives is at the heart of everything we do.

It’s this shared purpose — and the shared challenges we face — that have led Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust (KCHFT) and Medway Community Healthcare (MCH), to explore becoming one organisation.

Our communities are changing. People are living longer, often with more complex health needs. Yet access to care can vary depending on where you live, and long waits for some services persist. At the same time, we face growing pressures from financial constraints and workforce shortages.

Rather than face these challenges alone, KCHFT and MCH, which is a community interest company (CIC), are choosing to unite — not as a takeover, but as a partnership of equals. Together, we believe we can build a stronger, more resilient organisation that delivers better care, closer to home.
