Health Team

Overview 

The Health Team's vision is to create an environment where everyone in Joplin has the right to a healthy well-being and the freedom from health obstacles. We do this by facilitating community collaboration for the benefit of Joplin area citizens in two areas: physical health and behavioral health.
