Exciting news!🎉 One of our nurse-led clinics, Sheridan Health Services, has been awarded a $2 million HRSA grant to expand access to dental care for children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). The funding will help the clinic create a more supportive and accessible dental experience through resources such as a wheelchair-accessible system and weighted blankets. The grant will also support the expansion of the clinic’s dental team and provide specialized training for healthcare providers to better serve children with NDDs and their families.

Sheridan is one of 28 HRSA-funded health centers in the country (and one of three in Colorado) to receive funding, helping address a need for specialized dental care in our community. Learn more about how this grant will increase access to care here:

Ruth Lewis, a PhD student at CU Anschutz Nursing, is studying how nurses in rural communities cope with a lack of resources at critical access hospitals. She asked nurses to talk about moments of connection and strength they experienced while caring for patients in settings with limited resources and invited them to reflect on ways they can use art as a creative outlet.

Read more about her findings – and how it’s helping nurses provide better care.

We are thrilled to announce a $4 million investment in the Trifinio Center for Human Development in rural, southwest Guatemala. Established more than a decade ago through a partnership among the Colorado School of Public Health, Children’s Hospital Colorado, AgroAmérica and community partners in Guatemala, the Trifinio Center was created to support the health and well-being of banana workers, their families and neighboring communities.

What started as a bold idea has grown into a campuswide commitment to global health where students, faculty and clinicians provide clinical care, maternal and child health, reproductive health and youth leadership programs to those who otherwise may not have access.

This funding is made possible through the visionary leadership of the Fernando Bolaños Family Foundation and joint funding partnership from the Colorado School of Public Health, School of Medicine, College of Nursing, Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and School of Dental Medicine.
