Capacity Building:
An FPHS Approach to Improving Well-Being for All Missourians
This capacity building program equips public health professionals with a shared understanding of health equity and the Foundational Public Health Services (FPHS) model, guides us as we operationalize the model in our work, and empowers us to implement practices and processes that will assure foundational public health services every Missourian can depend on.
The program was developed in partnership with #HealthierMO, health equity experts from Consilience Group LLC, and a Health Equity Design Team made up of public health representatives from across Missouri.
Complete this baseline training for a foundational understanding of consistent definitions related to health equity, health disparities, and social determinants of health. The interactive training is anchored by Missouri's FPHS model and includes data collection, quizzes, and case studies specific to Missouri.
A facilitated workshop walks public health professionals through a deeper self-assessment of health equity practices within their agencies. Using a step-by-step workbook, participants will develop action plans to build individual and organizational capacity to assure foundational public health services grounded in health equity.
#HealthierMO will offer technical assistance and support as agencies begin enacting their action plans, applying health equity to the FPHS model framework in order to transform public health in their communities.
