Healthy Lifestyle Initiative
University of Missouri Extension is committed to promoting and maintaining the lifelong health of all Missourians. The Healthy Lifestyle Promotion Initiative is partnering with communities to enable sustainable changes to increase access to healthy, affordable food and safe, accessible physical activity. A holistic community focus will result in a long-term, replicable model that makes the healthy choice the easy choice.

Gateway to Health Challenge
The goal of the Gateway to Health Challenge is to help you, your family and your coworkers to have a healthy lifestyle. You can feel better, look better, live longer, increase your energy and improve your health with simple changes and better choices. Most people need some help in making these changes and deciding what’s right for them. This program is a 12-week competition that allows you to “custom fit” your approach to better health in a way that makes sense for you.
