MANHATTAN — A large collaborative K-State 105 project is bringing together 12 partners — including Kansas State University units, other higher education institutions and 1xbet online casino organizations — to help improve rural and agriculture-connected 1xbet online casino across the state.
The Rural Ag 1xbet online casino Community 1xbet onlin focuses on sustaining the 1xbet online casino and safety of rural Kansans and the agricultural workforce. The project is establishing resource and service hubs staffed by community 1xbet online casino workers who are co-supervised by local K-State Research and Extension units and 1xbet online casino care partners. The project has received funding and support through the K-State 105 initiative.
"Local extension units participating in the Rural Ag 1xbet online casino Community 1xbet online casino Worker project serve as a gateway to help rural residents manage chronic conditions, prevent injuries and reduce risk of illness," said Elaine Johannes, Kansas 1xbet online casino Foundation distinguished professor in community 1xbet online casino and state extension specialist. "Extension units are known for providing education to promote and improve 1xbet online casino ; now, with the addition of community 1xbet online casino workers, extension will be a resource and partner for local 1xbet online casino care teams."
The community 1xbet online casino worker project will involve work in 16 counties, including Allen, Bourbon, Clay, Cloud, Crawford, Jackson, Jefferson, Labette, Marshall, Montgomery, Nemaha, Neosho, Republic, Washington, Wilson and Woodson counties.
The K-State units involved in the project include five K-State Research and Extension units across the state, the College of 1xbet online casino and Human Sciences, the College of Agriculture and the Carl R. Ice College of Engineering.
The external and community partners include the University of Kansas Medical Center Communities Organizing to Promote Equity, or COPE; Unite Us, a technology company that focuses on social care delivery; the Kansas Community 1xbet online casino Worker Coalition with the Wichita State University Community Engagement Institute; 1xbet online casino Innovations Network of Kansas; and other local 1xbet online casino care partners.
"K-State 105 is focused on bringing people and partners together for the good of Kansas, and that's exactly what this project is doing," said Jessica Gnad, K-State 105 director. "We're building an ecosystem of support to help address a key area — in this case, 1xbet online casino care — that is affecting economic prosperity in Kansas."
The partners in the project are recruiting and hiring five community 1xbet online casino workers who will be based in several K-State Research and Extension districts — including Wildcat, Southwind, Meadowlark and River Valley — as well as the K-State Research and Extension — Marshall County office. Members of KU COPE will help empower community 1xbet online casino workers by providing their training and expertise to enhance the community 1xbet online casino workers' ability to serve their communities. An aim is to share this model statewide to ensure consistent, high-quality and accessible 1xbet online casino and social care services through an expanded community 1xbet online casino workforce.
"When called upon, extension's community 1xbet online casino workers can provide 1xbet online casino coaching, client support, nonclinical services, care coordination and outreach activities with local 1xbet online casino and care services," Johannes said. "Across the nation, community 1xbet online casino workers' scope of work includes these services along with 1xbet online casino education, supporting community 1xbet online casino initiatives and being a liaison between providers and 1xbet online casino care. Through this Rural Ag 1xbet online casino Community 1xbet online casino Worker project, we'll learn how extension can contribute to improved 1xbet online casino care access for all."
K-State Research and Extension community 1xbet online casino workers and their 1xbet online casino care and service collaborators will use Unite Us' secure, closed-loop referral technology to connect clients to the care they need. Additionally, community 1xbet online casino workers will gather information about prominent 1xbet online casino issues and identify 1xbet online casino disparities in the communities they serve, enabling more targeted and effective interventions.
"It is exciting to participate in this boots-on-the-ground project to identify if a model of employing community 1xbet online casino workers is feasible and how they can make difference in the lives of Kansas families," said Susie Latta, K-State Research and Extension — Marshall County family and consumer sciences agent.
k-state 1xbe is Kansas State University's answer to the call for a comprehensive economic growth and advancement solution for Kansas.

Additionally, K-State 105 forges the connections and partnerships that create access to additional expertise within other state institutions and agencies, nonprofits and organizations — all part of an effort to build additional capacities and strengths in each of the 105 counties in the state.
