Maternal Child Health

Our Denver Health based team of professionals, including a nurse, social workers and care coordinators, provides no-cost support to help families navigate and secure resources to ensure every child and family thrives. If you or someone you know could benefit from these services, please call 303-602-6765.

Together with the Colorado Statewide Parent Coalition we provide sponsorship, training and technical assistance to Friend, Family & Neighbor child care providers caring for Denver’s youngest residents.

We are thrilled to partner with Denver Public Library’s Early Learning Department and the Denver Department of Transportation & Infrastructure’s Office of Community & Business Engagement to explore how to better support and enhance the mental, physical and emotional wellbeing of children and families.

In 2025, this will include car seat and child restraint outreach and education. We are also exploring how to strengthen our support of Denver’s family resource centers.

Together with Denver Human Services, Denver Health and the Public Health Institute at Denver Health, we are bringing Family Connects, an evidence-based universal screening and referral program, to all families welcoming a new baby.

In response to the passage of Senate Bill 23-288 and in partnership with Danielle Peters Consulting, we are proud to provide technical training and enrollment support to Denver doulas wishing to become Medicaid providers.

Our staff serve on the policy, early childhood education and philanthropy subcommittees of the Denver Children’s Cabinet, and continue to work with local, state and national partners to ensure maternal child health is a top priority.
