Nestled within the heart of Kansas
City's Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center
Health Living Campus, a vibrant hub of
community empowerment and innovation
has taken flight: the Propeller Building.
The facility, aptly named for its mission
to propel individuals and organizations
forward, will be a beacon of hope and
opportunity in the culturally diverse
Northeast Kansas City community.
Anchored by the Jim Nunnelly Community
Room, the Propeller Building encompasses
a variety of essential spaces within its 4,000
square feet. The dedicated 3,000-square-
foot area will serve as a hub for community
education on health care, relationships,
mentoring, and event hosting. The
components are a fitting tribute to Jim
Nunnelly, a consummate health care
advocate who collaborated with Dr.
Samuel U. Rodgers to enhance access to
quality care, particularly in underserved
communities.
Nunnelly's legacy as a dedicated
advocate is deeply ingrained in the
Propeller Building's mission to educate
and empower the community on health
care issues. His collaborative efforts with
Dr. Rodgers underscore the importance of
community engagement and health care
access—principles that continue to guide
the center's initiatives today.
Versatility lies at the heart of the Propeller
Building's success, offering a dynamic
platform where nonprofits can organize
fundraising events, small businesses can
secure office space, and residents can
engage in fitness classes and cultural
activities that enrich their lives.
