The mission of the Office of Health Promotion (OHP) is to improve the quality of life and reduce the incidence of death and disability from chronic disease and injury, which supports KDHE's mission of protecting the health and environment of all Kansans by promoting responsible choices.

The Office is responsible for the core public health functions related to reducing the preventable burden of chronic disease and injuries. Program activities are supported by state, federal and private grant funds, which have been obtained through competitive processes and through collaboration with partner organizations to leverage funds from existing resources.
