New Advisory Board Member

I was recently asked to join the advisory board for the Denver Health Connections for Kids Clinic, a grant-based effort that enables the Denver Health and Hospital Authority to provide primary care health services to foster children in cooperation with the Denver Department of Human Services and the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. All foster children in Denver County are seen at the Connections for Kids Clinic, and I have gotten to know the clinic’s medical staff by taking several foster kids to them over the past several years. My role on the advisory board will be to attend quarterly meetings and speak on behalf of foster parents by sharing my clinic experiences, voicing any concerns, and helping to discover ways to improve the clinic.

The invitation to join the advisory board came from the medical director at the Denver Family Crisis Center, who is also an attending pediatrician at Denver Health and The Children’s Hospital, and a professor of pediatrics at the University of Colorado. I am honored to have been invited onto the advisory board, and I am excited to begin lending my voice at the next board meeting.
