Missouri Foundation for Health Provides Grant for Tobacco Prevention and Cessation
The Missouri Foundation for Health (MFH) has awarded funding to Truman to help create a smoke-free educational environment and provide services for those trying to quit smoking.
Truman received a 17-month grant worth $151,358 as part of MFH’s Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Initiative, a multi-year effort to reduce tobacco use in the state through a variety of funding strategies.
The grant will support an expansion of student efforts to create smoke-free educational environments and provide cessation services for anyone wanting to quit at both Truman and A.T. Still University. Carolyn Cox, professor of health, was responsible for securing this grant for the University.
Established in 2000, MFH is the largest non-governmental funder of community health activities in Missouri. MFH is in its sixth year of grant making, having issued $330 million in grants and awards to date. It is dedicated to serving the uninsured, underinsured and underserved in 84 Missouri counties and the city of St. Louis.
