Women’s Health Summit
In October 2024, CSU Extension hosted its first-ever Rural Women’s Health Summit in Akron, CO, engaging more than 63 women from across Eastern Colorado. The event featured panels on women’s health topics including pelvic floor awareness, survivorship, maternal mental health, menopause, and rural mental health supports. Due to the event’s success, the Eastern and Mountain regions plan to host summits in the future as well.
Menopause Education in Eagle County
CSU Extension’s Mountain Region Health Specialist launched “La Menopausia: ¡Empodérate!”, a bilingual workshop series in partnership with the Eagle Valley Community Foundation/MIRA bus. Over 55 women attended sessions covering menopause basics, medical and holistic treatments, self-care, and healthcare advocacy.
