Programming Initiatives
Missouri Comprehensive Health Alliance
This health equity and justice coalition is composed of a range of health care professionals and community leaders who address medical and social determinates of health using an integrative/comprehensive approach. As the convener of this coalition, our specific purpose is to:
-
Develop new and competent health equity and justice leaders
-
Foster a culture of solidarity by supporting members’ work and jointly working on issues and projects
-
Conduct research and disseminate results to help members generate, implement, and assess evidence-based practical solutions
-
Assist members with garnering funding for research, as well as issue and legislative campaigns
-
Prioritize members’ rights to joy, rest, and individual/community healing
We host restorative experiences designed to help professionals and community leaders engage in self and community liberation work without succumbing to burnout and/or becoming disenchanted with community-driven work
Coming Soon: Health Equity and Justice Podcast
This podcast will engage in an integrative approach to cover medical and social determinants of health, how they are connected, and what is being done to address them
