Address: 1735 South Public Road, Lafayette, CO, 80026 Project Director Name: Simon Smith Contact Phone Number: 303.665.2599 Email Address: simon.smith@clinica.org Website Address: clinica.org Funds requested in the application: $5,407,000 Clinica Family Health (Clinica) has grown since its founding in 1977 from a single nurse practitioner facility with 500 patients into a crucial piece of the Colorado health care safety net, serving 54,151 patients across our tri-county service area in 2021. We are the only organization in our service area that provides a full spectrum of medical, dental, and behavioral health care to patients of all ages, regardless of ability to pay. Clinica’s mission is to be the medical and dental care provider of choice for low-income and other underserved people in south Boulder, Broomfield, and west Adams counties. Our care is culturally appropriate and prevention focused. We envision that every member of our target population will have access to high-quality preventive medical and dental care that integrates behavioral health care. Clinica deploys integrated health care teams housed in five principal facilities, located in the cities of Boulder, Denver, Federal Heights, Lafayette, and Thornton. All sites are equipped with an electronic practice management system and use fully integrated electronic health, prescription, and dental records to deliver high quality comprehensive primary care services. In 2021, Clinica’s 523.41 FTE of medical, dental, mental health, patient support, and administrative personnel supported 284,911 health care visits for low-income Coloradoans. Clinica’s primary sites hold current Medical Home designation from the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care and are recognized as Patient-Centered Medical Homes by the National Committee for Quality Assurance. Under this application, we are proposing the renovation and modernization of our Pecos facility, a vital source of integr ated primary health care for the area’s low-income and minority population. The building is located at 1701 W. 72nd Avenue, in unincorporated Adams County. This economically marginalized area features a concentration of low-income Coloradoans who, without Clinica’s Pecos facility, would have little to no access to affordable health care. The proposed renovation would ensure that the essential health services provided by Clinica could be delivered consistently and safely for years to come.
