Community Sponsorships

CoxHealth Community Sponsorship Information

At CoxHealth, our mission is to improve the health of the communities we serve through quality health care, education and research. As the only local, not-for-profit health system based in Springfield, Mo., we provide substantial community benefit to serve the unmet needs of our friends neighbors.

If your organization has an event coming up, we encourage you to apply for a sponsorship. Please note that consideration is given only to applications that demonstrate a direct benefit or service to members of the community, or organizations whose primary mission is to directly improve the health of the local community. 

To protect the health of our community, we currently are not sponsoring events that are indoors. We will continue to monitor CDC recommendations and encourage your application in the event our policy changes.
