Community partnerships Leverage Kids First’s long-standing collaborations with schools and districts (Adams County, Adams 12 Five Star Schools, School District 27J) to offer integrated health services, telehealth expansion, and on-site wellness programs that align with school-based health initiatives and grant opportunities.

Grant and funding Explore grant-driven partnerships and multi-year funding to sustain and scale the integrated service model (pediatricians, mental health, dental, health education). The recent $50K grant demonstrates appetite for continuous support; propose expanded grant-ready programs and measurable outcomes.

Telehealth expansion Build on the telehealth launch during the pandemic to broaden access for rural and underserved populations, offer chronic disease management, behavioral health follow-ups, and preventive care, and position as a scalable platform for payer and grant funding.

Data and outcomes Highlight strong historical outcomes (thousands of visits, immunizations, behavioral health counseling, Medicaid/CHP+ enrollment support) to support ROI-focused proposals with metrics on access, prevention, and cost savings for payers, schools, and community partners.

Expansion potential Identify opportunities to replicate the model in additional districts or partner with nearby health systems and employers for workforce health programs, school-based centers, and sliding-fee-scale sustainability, leveraging Kids First’s nonprofit mission and diverse service lines.
