Missouri Cures is a statewide non-profit education and advocacy alliance working to promote and protect medical advances to improve the health of Missourians and stimulate the economy in our state. We provide education programs around the state highlighting the work of medical researchers in Missouri. We encourage policy makers to support medical research, as well as support patients who stand to benefit from new treatments and the companies that develop as a result of such research. We facilitate collaborations between researchers within the state and with national and international leaders in medical innovation, strengthening Missouri's reputation as a center for leading research and the pursuit of cures. Our supporters include physicians, nurses, scientists, researchers, patient advocacy groups, business, community and faith leaders, veterans and families throughout Missouri.
