From Holts Summit to rural communities across the state – @muhealth is committed to providing Missourians with more access to world-class health care.

[MU Health Care @muhealth]

Holts Summit, it's official. 🎉
We celebrated the grand opening of our new Primary Care Clinic on Monday, offering high-quality care and same-day sick visits closer to home for this community!

[UM System @umsystem]

Last year, UM conducted more than $730M in research – driving breakthroughs in agriculture, cancer treatments, workforce development and other solutions that improve life in Missouri communities.

[Dusty Schnieders @UMGovRelations]

Last week, @MissouriSandT dedicated the Missouri Protoplex, securing our state’s leadership in advanced manufacturing and workforce development. We’re grateful to @GovMikeKehoe and the Missouri Legislature for their support of this critical project.

[Senator Eric Schmitt @SenEricSchmitt]

MURR is leading on the world stage in radioisotope production—making groundbreaking changes in cancer therapies and saving lives.

Proud of the cutting-edge research happening at @Mizzou, and I'll continue supporting this important program.

[Bob Onder @RepBobOnder]

So proud of the incredible work @Mizzou is doing with MURR and the impact it’s having on lifesaving research and critical innovation.

[Dusty Schnieders @UMGovRelations]

Thank you, Congresswoman, for your leadership in American-made manufacturing — from the next-generation F-47 fighter built in Missouri, to submarine batteries and critical minerals that strengthen our defense supply chain, Missouri is at the forefront of defense innovation.

[Ann Wagner @RepAnnWagner]

It was great to meet with President Mun Choi from the University of Missouri (UM) last week. We discussed the amazing work the UM System is doing to advance research and innovation in both the agricultural and defense industries. I am proud to work alongside Mizzou as it continues to create opportunities for students, researchers, and local businesses, as well as serve numerous communities throughout our great state.

This year, Mizzou and I are teaming up to advance a number of different initiatives. I will be leading efforts to enhance academic and commercial collaboration to reinforce Missouri’s defense industrial ecosystem that will greatly benefit the development of the new, state-of-the-art F-47 stealth fighter.

I will also be working with my colleagues in Congress to strengthen our state’s capacity to develop critical materials used across the defense industry and to expand the use of Missouri-made, cutting-edge batteries used in our most advanced nuclear submarines.
