Working with the team at the Rocky Mountain Prevention Research Center was invaluable for strengthening our program’s data collection efforts. In human services, measuring impact can be challenging, but their team developed a tool that allowed us to gather meaningful patient feedback, made our reporting processes far more efficient, and created easily searchable data that helps us clearly quantify the resource connections our program provides to the community.

I had the pleasure of working with RMPRC a few times. The first time was to help me with analysis for a project we were doing to understand the impact of benefit planning services for people who were enrolled with the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. The team was great. We met a few times before the analysis started to ensure they understood what I was looking for and a few times after the analysis to make sure I understood the findings and could speak to them. I appreciated their partnership and was pleased with the final product. – Yvonne Kellar-Guenther, PhD
