Protect Medicaid in Missouri

We want to hear your Medicaid stories!

Right now, Congress is considering a federal budget reconciliation bill that could result in devastating cuts to Medicaid. These cuts would impact millions—including children, older adults, people with disabilities, and working families across Missouri.

Our team at the Community Health Commission of Missouri (CHCM), is collecting stories from Missourians who have been impacted by Medicaid. We want to hear about your experiences and Medicaid's role in helping you get critical care, support a loved one, or bridging a gap during hard times.

How You Can Help

Get Involved

Join the Movement for a Healthier Missouri

At the Community Health Commission of Missouri (CHCM), we believe that lasting health improvements happen when communities, organizations, and individuals come together to solve tough challenges—from access to care and mental health to economic opportunity and community safety.

Across Missouri, too many people—especially in historically underserved communities—face barriers that affect their health and well-being. These barriers may include gaps in healthcare access, limited resources, and the lasting impact of adversity or trauma. At CHCM, we work with partners across the state to build healthier systems, stronger communities, and better outcomes for everyone.

Why get involved

When you get involved with CHCM, you’re joining a statewide effort to:

  • Improve access to care for those who need it most
  • Strengthen support systems for families and frontline providers
  • Make policies and programs more responsive to real community needs
  • Help ensure that every Missourian—regardless of where they live or what they earn—has the opportunity to live a healthy, full life

Whether through advocacy, giving, or community outreach, your involvement makes a difference. Together, we can create lasting, positive change across Missouri.
