GOOD ENERGY SOLUTIONS Solar Giveaway Program – Willow Domestic Violence Center
Good Energy Solutions, one of the leading solar design and installation companies in Kansas and Missouri, cut the ribbon on the new solar panel installation for the office of The Willow Domestic Violence Center.
As part of Good Energy Solutions’ yearly giveaway project that donates solar panel systems to deserving Douglas County nonprofits, The Willow’s office, located at 1920 Moodie Rd, now has a fully operational solar array that helps to offset the cost of their monthly electricity bills.
“We’ve been giving solar systems away for many years, but this one is particularly special,” said Malcolm Proudfit, CEO of Good Energy Solutions. “This solar installation will help the Willow allocate more of their resources to accomplish their extremely important mission.”
The Willow builds safer communities through shelter, services, and support to survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking.

BLUE CROSS AND BLUE SHIELD OF KANSAS – Presents check to LiveWell Douglas County
Pathways to a Healthy Kansas, an initiative of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas (BCBSKS), presented a check to LiveWell Douglas County to implement Move More Douglas County, a physical activity prescription program, for local residents.
This new program aims to increase access to physical activity opportunities for patients by providing financial reimbursement for those activities. Health care providers at LMH Health and Heartland Community Health Center will provide the physical activity prescriptions to patients who are newly diagnosed with diabetes or prediabetes. Patients can then redeem their prescription at the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department to use on a variety of aquatics and fitness classes.
“Being active has so many great health benefits, everything from sleeping better and feeling happier to managing blood sugar and blood pressure,” said Allison Koonce, LMH Health Community Outreach and Engagement Supervisor. “The Move More Douglas County program will help support the integration of physical activity into patient care plans.”
