Organizational History- The Weld County Department of Public Health & Environment was established in 1938 by the Weld County Commissioners. The County Commissioners provide governance and are responsible for the public health policies and public health program's county wide. 2. Mission Statement- The mission of the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment is to preserve, promote and protect a healthy life and safe environment for the residents of Weld County. 3. Description of the Program Services • Year of program inception: The Prenatal Outreach Coordinator position was established in October 2004. • Description on program services: From October 2004 to August 2006, the Prenatal Outreach Coordinator assisted pregnant women through the Medicaid/CHP+ application, educated them about not smoking, taking drugs (illegal and over the counter), not drinking and answering any questions they may have. The Prenatal Outreach Coordinator assisted in scheduling their first prenatal health care appointment and then follows up with them during the course of their pregnancy to ensure they are continuing to go to their appointments and access community support available • How this program meets the overall initiative outcome(s): From October 2004 to August 2006, the Prenatal Outreach Coordinator contacted 782 pregnant women in Weld County. Of these women, 90% have established prenatal care and completed a first visit, and 92% have completed a Medicaid/CHP+ Application. The Prenatal Outreach Coordinator completed 412 referrals to community agencies for needed services that pregnant women disclosed as needing. These referrals generated services such as: WIC, Bright Beginnings Newborn Home Visitations, food; clothing; rental assistance and other health and human services through our local 211 system. • Target population: The target population for this project is pregnant women needing access to prenatal care and prenatal health care coverage. Referrals will come from the Weld County Dept. of Social Services; WCDPHE; Sunrise Community Health Center; private physicians and other agencies serving uninsured pregnant women. • Parameters for client eligibility: Parameters for client eligibility for this project addresses the issues of barriers of pregnant women accessing prenatal care, such as financial barriers, limited providers that offer reduced fees for prenatal care and the lack of knowledge of the importance of receiving early prenatal care. With the changes of Medicaid Presumptive Eligibility, it is vital that women understand and are assisted in applying for health care programs that they are eligible for. • Fees paid by clients, if applicable: There is no charge for pregnant women to obtain assistance from the Prenatal Outreach Coordinator. • Program partnerships and collaborations organizations The Weld County Department of Public Health & Environment has collaborated with numerous agencies and providers in the community. The community agencies include: United Way/ 1 Promises For Children, Sunrise Community Health Center, First Steps of Weld County, a prenatal case management program; North Colorado Family Medicine, ob- gyn and family physician service providers; Weld County Department of Social Services for Medicaid eligibility; Ft.

These financial statements are the responsibility of Weld County's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of Weld County, Colorado, as of December 31, 2004, were audited by other auditors whose report dated May 20, 2005, expressed unqualified opinions on those statements. We did not audit the financial statements of the Weld County Housing Authority. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinions on the basic financial statements, insofar as they relate to the amounts included for the Weld County Housing Authority, are based on the report of the other auditors. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Weld County, Colorado, as of December 31, 2005, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the year then Affiliate Offices Worldwide Board of County Commissioners Weld County, Colorado ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated May 5, 2006 on our consideration of Weld County's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an internal part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit. Management's Discussion and Analysis, the schedule of pension funding progress, condition assessments of infrastructure, and budgetary comparison information on pages 13 through 22 and 63 through 64 are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain Limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise Weld County, Colorado's, basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, Local Highway Finance Report, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and statistical tables are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund fmancial statements, Local Highway Finance Report, and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The introductory section and statistical tables have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we express no opinion on them. noth. ed.
