To A Degree

The Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program at North Central Missouri College is a two-year program offering an Associate of Applied Science Degree. The program will be housed at the Savannah location once construction is complete. The degree includes classroom instruction, practice in a skills lab, and clinical experience in a variety of healthcare settings. The program offers general sonography, which consists of abdomen, vascular, and OB/GYN. You will learn both the art and the science of diagnostic imaging. The educational opportunities facilitate personal and professional development to contribute to long-term success.

Once a student has completed their degree, they will have the knowledge and the clinical exposure they need to become a registered sonographer. This area of healthcare is expected to continue to grow as sonography becomes an increasingly preferred alternative to radiologic procedures.

Applications are currently being accepted for students who wish to join the cohort that will begin in the Fall of 2023. There are some prerequisites and specific application requirements which can be found on the NCMC Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program webpage. The application deadline is March 1st.

News From The Second District

To the Great Constituents of District 2, “The real things haven’t changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong.” –Laura Ingalls Wilder

I have this quote in my office and it’s one of my favorites. As we go through this session, I’m excited to see the great changes we can make to impact our state for the better.

This week, we had the State of the State with the theme of “We are Not Done Yet” by Governor Parson. His speech also focused on the progress state government has made in infrastructure, workforce and education, mental health and health, government reform, and public safety. Parson prioritized major investments in infrastructure, including $250 million to continue broadband expansion

resource officer programs, and increase active threat trainings. To view the Governors Speech you can go onto: HYPERLINK "https://governor.mo.gov/" https://governor.mo.gov/ efforts and $35 million to update railway crossings all across the state to meet modern day safety standards. He also asked the legislature to add $117 million to fully fund the foundation formula, $233 million for school transportation needs, $32 million to expand the Career Ladder Program, and continue the Teacher Baseline Salary Program that raised teacher pay from $25,000 to $38,000 per year. Parson called for $22 million for the Missouri Department of Social Services' Children's Division. The Division remains critically understaffed and under-resourced. Parson's plan makes strategic investments to hire more support staff and extend critical support to struggling families and children. Parson also proposed $50 million for school safety grants for Missouri schools to make physical security investments on their campuses, develop safety plans, establish school

Since I am on the Budget committee, we will be going through all of Governor Parsons’s recommendations and I look forward to working with my colleagues to make sure Northwest Missouri’s voice is heard.
