Retirement & Health Insurance Help in Wichita, KS

Whitehead Financial helps Wichita, KS residents with retirement planning, 401(k) rollovers and health insurance for the self-employed.

Wichita has an estimated 400,987 residents as of July 2025, and 15.7% of them are 65 or older (U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts). That's a lot of people who are retired, close to it, or helping a parent through it. Lucy's conversations with Wichita families often cover the practical questions: how much income you'll need, where it will come from, and how to make savings last.

Aviation runs deep here. Visit Wichita says the city first earned the title Air Capital of the World in 1928, when its 16 aircraft manufacturers were turning out 120 airplanes a week, and that firms like Textron Aviation, Spirit AeroSystems, Airbus Americas and Bombardier still design and build aircraft and components in Wichita today (Visit Wichita). For people who have spent decades in the industry, workplace retirement plans are often the biggest asset they own. Lucy can help you understand your choices when you leave or retire.

Sedgwick County's major employers include Via Christi Clinic, Spirit AeroSystems Holdings and Cessna Aircraft Co (Kansas Department of Commerce). But not everyone in Wichita works for a large company. In the city, 14.5% of people under 65 don't have health insurance (U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts), and self-employed residents are among those who have to find coverage on their own. Lucy can help you sort through individual health insurance options in plain English.
