Our Mission: To eliminate underlying causes of health inequities, transform systems, and enable individuals and communities to thrive.
We are building a more equitable future through collaboration, convening, knowledge sharing, and strategic investment. Working in partnership with communities and nonprofits, we are transforming systems to eliminate inequities within all aspects of health and addressing the social and economic factors that shape health outcomes.

We are committed to a discreet collection of issues, in which we’ve identified ways that we can have long-term impact and catalyze change toward a healthier Missouri in which:
- All people have affordable health insurance coverage
- Every Missourian has access to high-quality care
- Inequities in health and well-being disappear, and
- Every community provides a social, economic, and physical environment that offers opportunities to thrive and promotes health and well-being for all.
While our environment presents an abundance of opportunities that we could pursue consistent with the breadth of our mission, our existing scale of resources means that we make thoughtful, responsible choices in order to have impact.
Our strategic initiatives are one of the ways we drive change as we work to achieve health equity. Watch this video to learn about how we decide where to focus our efforts.
