Accreditation
MoCPHE believes accreditation empowers health departments to improve performance by motivating them to identify processes improvement opportunities, utilize quality improvement mechanisms, develop leadership skills and build stronger community partnerships.
Local public health agencies in Missouri can purse accreditation at the state or national level.
Advocacy
Everyone can advocate for the development of conditions that promote health, prevent disease and protect communities - conditions that ensure everyone has the opportunity for a healthier life. Get active!
Data
Identifying public health areas of improvement must depend, at least in large part, on accurate data. The ODPHP offers state-specific snapshots for measureable Healthy People 2020 objectives.
