Missouri Statewide Parent Advisory Network

Missouri Statewide Parent Advisory Network (MO-SPAN) is a non-profit organization that serves as Missouri's designated Family-to-Family Health Information Center (F2F HIC). The organization is dedicated to supporting families of children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) and disabilities by providing essential information, training, and peer support. MO-SPAN works to empower parents and caregivers to navigate complex healthcare, insurance, and educational systems effectively. By collaborating with state agencies and healthcare providers, the network advocates for improved policies and family-centered care models. Their services include resource navigation, leadership development, and educational workshops designed to improve health outcomes for children with chronic conditions.
