The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (MDHSS) was awarded a $323,374 Formula Grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Community Living under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part D, Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Services program (CFDA 93.043). This 2-year grant, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026, will fund the development and strengthening of preventive health service and health promotion systems for older adults in Missouri. The grant supports the implementation of evidence-based disease prevention and health promotion services, including programs focused on nutrition, caregiver support, and elder rights protection, to improve the health and well-being of seniors across local and regional communities in the state. MDHSS, as the state health agency, is uniquely positioned to sub-award portions of this grant funding to local Area Agencies on Aging and nonprofit organizations to deliver these vital preventive health and wellness services to the target population.
