The communities in which we live and work can have an impact on our health. With big cities and nearly 100 rural counties, Missouri is a diverse state with different kinds of communities.

The Environmental Public Health Tracking (EPHT) Program collects, analyzes, and shares environmental health data. This includes data and information on environmental health in communities and community infrastructure. Community data helps put environmental health data into context and enhances exploration of potential influences and risk factors for diseases or other health outcomes.

The National Environmental Public Health Tracking Program

Missouri Environmental Public Health Tracking (EPHT) is a program within the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services and funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. EPHT is part of a network of people and information systems which delivers a core set of health, exposure, and hazards data, information summaries and tools to enable analysis, visualization and reporting of insights drawn from data. Those insights are intended to help data drive actions and improve community health.
