Map of Region 7 States


The Region 7 Office, based in Kansas City, Missouri, serves Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, and Kansas. Region 7 is also home to nine federally recognized tribes.

About 90% of the region’s 13.5 million residents are within 4 hours’ driving time of Kansas City. Three major overland trails developed in the mid-1800s – the Santa Fe, California, and Oregon – all originate in Missouri and pass through the Kansas City metropolitan area.

Due to the range of rural towns and urban cities, the Region 7 population experiences a variety of health concerns. The ORHO Region 7 office works with stakeholders to improve uptake of life-saving vaccines, increase physical activity, promote harm reduction to address substance use disorders, and respond to new and emerging public health challenges with an overall emphasis on health equity for all. Region 7 fosters creative and productive partnerships between private and public sectors and supports innovative approaches to public health prevention and promotion.
