Reflecting on a Year of Progress and Collaboration

Today marks a milestone for the Community Health Commission of Missouri as we celebrate Riisa Rawlins’ one-year anniversary as CEO. In her latest letter, Riisa shares an inspiring reflection on the progress our team has made under her leadership, especially around our mission of health equity.

Over the past year, we’ve achieved significant strides in community-centered initiatives, like our data-sharing partnerships with the Missouri Hospital Association and the Regional Data Alliance, and have launched impactful projects focused on participatory budgeting and trauma-informed care. This letter highlights the foundational work that has united us in purpose and the powerful, community-driven direction that lies ahead.
