The vision of the Kansas City Physical Activity Plan (KCPA Plan) is to foster a culture of physically active lifestyles in our region. The KCPA Plan is a comprehensive set of Kansas City-focused, sector-specific strategies and tactics designed to increase physical activity in residents of all ages.

The KCPA Plan draws from local research studies, community recommendations on physical activity, and national physical activity reports, including the National Physical Activity Plan and the United States Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth.

The Kansas City Physical Activity Plan is organized by the Core Work Group and Sector Work Groups. Kansas City Healthy Lifestyles Collaborative, a program at Children's Mercy that seeks to align community programs to promote healthy lifestyles within our region, serves as the ‘backbone organization’ for Kansas City Physical Activity Plan by supporting the Core Work Group and Sector Work Groups.
