The Missouri Institute for Community Health (MICH) is
a 501 C 3 organization founded in 2003. Its mission is to
“facilitate and promote excellence in community systems for
health and quality of life”.
MICH’s Voluntary Accreditation Program for Local Public
Health Agencies has gained attention from public health
organizations in Missouri and across the nation. The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Robert Woods
Johnson Foundation (RWJ), and National Network of Public
Health Institutes (NNPHI) are partners in public health
accreditation efforts and other initiatives to strengthen
public health systems.
Though at the origin of MICH, activities were focused
primarily on local public health agency accreditation; its
mission is now more comprehensive. MICH supports efforts to
continuously improve entire community health systems which
will lead to better health and quality of life throughout
the state of Missouri.
