Hope for a
Healthier Tomorrow

At our very core, we’re all human. We all laugh, we all cry, we all love, and we all need hope - hope for a healthier tomorrow. 

​

We teamed up with expert storytellers at Humans of St. Louis to collect and share stories from people across the state - stories highlighting gaps in our healthcare system, emphasizing the urgent need for change, and demonstrating the passion that will help create a brighter, healthier tomorrow for all Missourians.

Our Blueprint

#HealthierMO is committed to helping all Missouri residents reach our full potential and live our healthiest lives. We're building a stronger, more resilient public health system that will be more responsive to the needs of Missourians.

 

We work actively with everyone who contributes to community health to ensure that each community has a skilled public health workforce, a strong network of partners, stable funding streams, policies, and a reliable system for service delivery.

 

These foundational public health capabilities support good health and well-being for all of us.

Our Challenge

Our Challenge

Missouri's public health system is made up of a state health department and 115 autonomous local public health agencies with varying governance structures and funding sources.

 

Universities, public and private organizations, non-profit entities, and many other groups and individuals contribute to building a strong, stable, and lasting foundation for community health.

Our Teams

I am energized by the relationships being built in the interest of improving public health in Missouri. I'm seeing trust being improved between adn among the professional public organizations, health car,e and local public health.

This is perhaps the most important work I've been involved in over the course of my 23-year public health career. The future is now, and it is critical that we set a solid foundation for the next generation of public health professionals in Missouri.

There have been many individuals and groups that have historically worked to improve public health locally and throughout Missouri . . . The goal of HealthierMO is to engage every public health worker, agency, and partner in the public health system to work together to be able to provide the services needed to protect the health and safety of all Missourians.
