C� MEMORANDUM
COLORADO
TO: Barbara J. Kirkmeyer, Chair, Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Mark E. Wallace, MD, MPH, Director, Department of Public
Health and Environment -U, .11 fl
SUBJECT: Proposal for Nurse Home Visitor Program
DATE: October 30, 2000
Enclosed for Board review and approval is a grant application to the Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) for the implementation of a county-wide nurse home
visitor program.
The nurse home visitation program is an intervention that is provided to first time low-income
mothers. It is a program that has been researched for the last twenty years and has proven
outcomes. These outcomes are prevention of child abuse and neglect, improved parenting,
appropriate use of the health care system, development of financial independence of the mother,
and less involvement with the legal system. The program provides intense visitation during the
woman's pregnancy through the child's second birthday. This program is part of a collaborative
community effort involving multiple community agencies.
For the implementation of this project, Weld County Department of Public Health and
Environment is requesting funding from CDPHE in the amount of$745,310 for the time period
of January 1, 2001 through June 30,2003. The proposal as written includes a total of$96,145
contribution by Weld County in indirect costs over the two and one-half year period. The first
term of the grant would be from January 1, 2001 through June 30, 2001. The funding requested
from CDPHE for this time period is $175,831. Weld County would provide in-kind in the
amount of $22,682 as indirect costs.
I recommend approval of this grant application.

Executive Summary
The Weld County Department of Public Health & Environment, in collaboration with
other county departments and community agencies, is submitting a proposal to implement
a county-wide Nurse Home Visitor Program as provided for in the Nurse Home Visitor
Program Act, section 25-31-101, et.seq., C.R.S., as amended, and administered by the
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The department is seeking
funding of$745,310 from January 1, 2001 through June 30, 2003 to support the
educational, health and other resources to be provided to at least 100 new young mothers
during pregnancy and the first years of their infants' lives under this program proposal.
The department is uniquely qualified in the county to serve as the lead agency to
implement and successfully carry out this home visitor program directed at improving
outcomes for new mothers and their infants. With over sixty years of experience
providing nursing and home visitation services to residents of Weld County,the
department has considerable experience in establishing its credibility and likelihood for
success in administering the proposed program. The department will integrate program
staff consisting of 0.5 FTE of Master's prepared nursing supervisor, 4.0 FTE of
baccalaureate prepared registered nurse visitors, and 0.5 FTE of data entry/support
personnel into the Division of Public Health Education and Nursing. The new program
staff will join a stable division workforce composed of baccalaureate prepared public
health nurses already experienced in home visitation and other maternal and child health
services.
The department proposes to collaborate with the Department of Social Services, the
Department of Human Services, United Way of Weld County, Sunrise Community
Health Center, Salud Family Health Centers, Monfort Children's Clinic,North Colorado
Medical Center,North Colorado Family Medicine, 1St Steps, Bright Beginnings, Weld
County School District 6 and The Greeley Dream Team, Inc., in implementing this
program. Three of the four visiting nurses will be outstationed at Sunrise Community
Health Center, Monfort Children's Clinic and at a county facility is southern Weld
County. One visiting nurse, and all other program staff, will operate out the department's
main office in Greeley. A Community Advisory Board consisting of 8-10 community
representatives will provide advisory oversight to the program and the department's
executive director. Accountability will rest with the Department of Public Health &
Environment. An existing community staffing model will be expanded to incorporate
this new program to ensure that services are not duplicated and that clients are referred
into the most appropriate program to meet their unique needs.
