infoHelp shape the future of Missouri communities
MU Extension is gathering input to better understand what matters most to Missourians — from health and jobs to education and more.
Please take 10 minutes to complete a short survey that asks a few questions about yourself and what matters most in your community. Responses will be anonymous. The data collected will directly inform MU Extension’s future programming and priorities.
In partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association of Missouri, MU Extension Health and Human Science specialists can teach 10 of the Alzheimer's Association programs. These programs aim to help people understand Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias as well as how to live with the disease.
