Colorado Health Foundation
Since 2006, the Colorado Health Foundation has provided more than $3 million to support the establishment of Colorado’s first school of public health. One of the Foundation’s primary goals is to ensure that Colorado has the health professional workforce necessary to make Colorado the healthiest state in the nation.
Over the past several years, The Colorado Health Foundation has generously supported the Culture of Wellness in Preschools (COWP) Program through the Rocky Mountain Prevention Research Center at the Colorado School of Public Health. The Whole Child Expansion project adapted the five components of the COWP Program so that, in addition to promoting positive physical development, preschools also promote social, emotional and cognitive development. This new whole child model is being implemented in Jefferson County Head Start, City of Lakewood Head Start, Adams County Head Start and Colorado Early Education Network. These efforts collectively reach approximately 5,500 children and adults annually. With the generous support of The Colorado Health Foundation, the COWP has reached over 48,000 children, parents and educators in approximately 150 low-income early child care education settings in 14 counties in Colorado.
