MOHEC.ORG Mission Statement
The Missouri Health Equity Collaborative (mohec.org) is promoting health equity for all Missourians by virtually linking educators, researchers, students and other health professionals together with community organizations in a mutual partnership. MOHEC exists to empower Missourians to eliminate racial and ethnic health disparities through communication and collaboration.
MOHEC Goals
MOHEC.org was developed to establish a virtual, online health disparities community aimed at examining disparity-reducing best practices while providing evidence to inform policy decisions. More specifically, it allows collaborators to:
- Connect to a diverse network of resources and knowledge
- Bridge research and community needs
- Inform Missourians about effective and evidenced-based practices and programs
- Provide a centralized source of current events, reports and programs focused on achieving health equity
