The Missouri Foundation for Health works to improve health in three ways: by making long-term commitments to address four key health issues; responding to communities' identified health needs; and promoting state-level health policy research. It focuses on initiatives for childhood obesity prevention, expanding health coverage, infant mortality, and oral health. These initiatives aim to increase access to care, address social factors influencing health outcomes, and educate about available services and coverage options. The document provides details on the Foundation's Expanding Coverage initiative to increase enrollment in the health insurance marketplace and its related Cover Missouri coalition and resources, as well as its initiatives on infant mortality and oral health.
