KU reaches out to build healthy communities
KU reaches out to build healthy communities KU students, faculty and staff are making positive changes in every Kansas community they touch. Researchers are finding new ways to help doctors (http://bit.ly/16my2qa) treat obesity in rural areas. Students are volunteering for a (http://bit.ly/1HMA6YX) suicide prevention hotline. Military veterans and their families are benefiting from (http://bit.ly/1zvjpds) Wounded Warriors Scholarship program. KU has also helped launch and market a new online tool that helps social service agencies (http://bit.ly/1wBaYLA) more easily place foster children into compatible families. And KU’s pharmacy researchers are (http://bit.ly/1JthSck) developing vaccines and drugs that will place Kansas at the forefront of an effort to save lives worldwide, while boosting the economy back home. See how we are building healthy communities here: http://bit.ly/KUreportBuild
