2022 Missouri Legislative Priorities

BREAST & CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING FUNDING:

Advocate for funding of the Show Me Healthy Women Program, which provides free breast and cervical cancer screenings and treatment to low income, uninsured women across the state, and is administered by Missouri DHSS.

TOBACCO PREVENTION AND CESSATION:

Advocate for investment in tobacco prevention and cessation at the state level.  Missouri continues to trail the country in funding evidence-based programs.

ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE:

Continue to elevate the importance of access to expanded MO Healthnet to early cancer detection and long-term survival.

COLORECTAL CANCER SCREENING:

Educate on the low colorectal cancer screening rates in some Missouri communities and policies that would eliminate barriers to screening.
