About MU Extension- Community Health Engagement Outreach

MU Extension- Community Health Engagement Outreach.

At MU Extension – Community Health Engagement & Outreach, our mission is to foster optimal health and well-being for all Missourians at every stage of life. We recognize that health is influenced by a wide range of factors commonly referred to as the social determinants of health which shape the environments where people live, work, learn, and play.

Through strategic partnerships and collaborative initiatives, we address these factors holistically, working to create meaningful, lasting improvements in individual and community health. Our approach is driven by curiosity, innovation, and a commitment to continuous improvement, ensuring that our efforts remain effective, cohesive, and impactful.

With a deep-rooted presence in communities across Missouri, we empower individuals and organizations to take an active role in shaping healthier, safer, and more resilient communities. By fostering engagement and championing health as a shared value, we help communities overcome social challenges and build a foundation for long-term well-being.
