  Serving Federal Region VII (Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri), the Healthier Workforce Center of the Midwest is a Total Worker Health Center of Excellence. The vision of the Healthier Workforce Center is to create a safe, healthy, productive workforce and is carried out through basic and applied research, a participatory approach, and theory driven education and translation activities. The Center is a collaboration between the University of Iowa, Washington University in St. Louis, and the Nebraska Safety Council, a NIOSH Total Worker Health Affiliate.

The Mission of the Healthier Workforce Center is to protect and preserve worker safety and health through knowledge generation and dissemination of evidence-based Total Worker Health practices.
