Community Health Engagement and Outreach

infoHelp shape the future of Missouri communities

MU Extension is gathering input to better understand what matters most to Missourians — from health and jobs to education and more.

Please take 10 minutes to complete a short survey that asks a few questions about yourself and what matters most in your community. Responses will be anonymous. The data collected will directly inform MU Extension’s future programming and priorities.

MU Extension’s Community Health program’s goal is to achieve optimal health and well-being for every Missourian at every stage of life.

What we do

Our work touches each area of people’s lives, also known as the social determinants of health. By focusing on all the factors that contribute to our health and well-being, we are able to partner and work collaboratively to positively impact the health and well-being of individuals, communities and the state. Through coordinated, collective action and focused intention, we lead with curiosity and partnership in mind, continually improving in order to work efficiently, cohesively and succinctly.

How we do it

Health is woven into nearly every facet of communities; we have a role to play in our own health and the health of our communities. We work to promote healthy, safe and thriving communities where health is a shared value. Through established relationships and presence in communities, we partner, engage and empower communities to address social challenges where people live, work, learn and play.

Saving Lives. Building Better Communities.
