ADDITIONAL EQUALITY IN HEALTH INITIATIVE GRANTEES NAMED
 The Colorado Trust’s $13.1 million, seven-year (2005-2012) Equality in Health Initiative seeks to reduce racial and ethnic health disparities statewide. Twelve new grantees have joined 14 previously-announced grantees to help health care providers and educators gain the skills necessary to consider unique cultural backgrounds as they provide care.
The new grantees will address a variety of needs among diverse populations, including: culturally competent health care, school-based health, mental and dental health care, and stronger translation and interpretation programs to help improve services for diverse populations. The newly named grantees are:
- Denver Indian Family Resource Center
- Fort Collins Family Medicine Residency Program, Poudre Valley Hospital
- Inner City Health Center
- Jefferson Center for Mental Health
- Kids in Need of Dentistry
- Montrose County School District
- Prowers Medical Center
- Second Wind Fund
- Total Oral Prevention Strategies (TOPS)
- Upper Arkansas Area Council of Governments
- Valley-Wide Health Systems, Inc.
- Western Colorado Health Network, d/b/a Western Colorado AIDS Project
