Wichita entrepreneurial organization NXTUS Inc. has secured more funding that it will use to bring back one of its pilot competitions for a second year.
The organization has received $240,000 from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas that will allow it to continue its NXTSTAGE Community Health and Vibrancy Competition.
BCBSK was the presenting sponsor of that contest in 2021, which led to five pilots being implemented with organizations across the state since last August.
