💚 As part of our land grant mission, CSU Extension prioritizes supporting healthy communities across Colorado. Our health team wants to better understand the perspectives from our community partners on women’s health services and programming needs in rural Colorado.

The goal of this 10-question survey is to gather input from community partners across the state to gauge interest in possible programs, events, and topics related to women's health.

We are hoping to get feedback from as many perspectives as possible - will yours be one of them? Thank you!
