Transforming Public Health
Passion, policy and partnerships
At #HealthierMO, we bring together everyone who contributes to community health in a true grassroots approach to ensuring 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.
Framework
Explore Missouri's FPHS model
Missouri's Foundational Public Health Services (FPHS) model provides a critical and consistent framework for practicing public health. The result is an increased ability to practice person- and community-centered care and resourcing that helps people break through barriers to reach their best state of health.
