Shout Out: Monica Walker, Laurie Carr, Ashley Svaty, Jaime Rathbun, Sharolyn Jackson, Christina Holmes and Tara Solomon-Smith
This Shout Out comes from Elaine Johannes, Kansas Health Foundation Distinguished Professor in Community Health, and is sent for regional and local FCS professionals who presented the community health and wellness work of KSRE at meetings this spring. Elaine writes:
"Monica Walker, Laurie Carr, Ashley Svaty, Jaime Rathbun, Sharolyn Jackson, Christina Holmes and Tara Solomon-Smith strengthened partnerships with public health officials, nurses and county commissioners as they presented about KSRE health programs, the National Extension Framework for health Equity and Well-Being and gave examples of KSRE partnerships to public health officials from 49 local, multi-county and regional public health offices.
The connections made through their remarks and the discussions that followed have contributed to partnerships for diabetes education, hypertension prevention, emergency management response and improved health care for young mothers.
Thank you to each of these skilled KSRE professionals."
Monica Walker, Laurie Carr, Ashley Svaty, Jaime Rathbun, Sharolyn Jackson, Christina Holmes and Tara Solomon-Smith, thanks for all you do for the people of Kansas, our colleagues and K-State Research and Extension.
