2019 Missouri Health Policy Summit

The Center for Health Policy's Annual Missouri Health Policy Summit brings together health policy makers and health care stakeholders in Missouri to discuss important and emerging health and policy issues facing the health care system in Missouri.

Since its inception, it has grown to become a bridge between researchers and policy makers, connecting local and state leaders facing health policy challenges with the knowledge, expertise and resources they need to identify and adequately meet the health policy challenges facing the state and their communities.

The 17th annual Missouri Health Policy Summit October 25, 2019.
Hilton Garden Inn, 3300 Vandiver Drive, Columbia, MO 65202
