Culture, Identity and Value

Our core value is positive engagement, meaning that we believe we all have something positive to offer as the foundation for promoting health equity and social justice.

The ultimate goals of U-RISE are to uplift our communities, from Saint Louis to other parts of the globe, by drawing on our collective will and desire for health and social justice so that, together, we can all rise.
