Kiowa
County Public Health Services to be provided through INTERGOVERMENTAL
agreement with Prowers County Public Health and Environment
Eads, CO– The Kiowa County Board of County Commissioners has approved
an intergovernmental agreement with Prowers County, and the Prowers
County Public Health and Environment (PCPHE) agency to expand their
agreement to now provide required, core public health services to Kiowa
County for 2012. Prowers County Public Health and Environment has been
providing required environmental health services, primarily retail food
inspections and consumer protection to Kiowa County since 1996. At that
time Baca, Bent, Kiowa and Prowers County implemented the regional
environmental health program, with services provided by Prowers County.
For many years PCPHE has also provided the Nurse Family Partnership
program and the Healthy Communities program, a Medicaid case management
and referral program, to residents of Kiowa County.
The
Kiowa County Board, who also acts as the Kiowa County Board of Health,
believes that this agreement will provide efficiencies for the agency,
reducing costs, while also meeting the state requirements for public
health services. Jacqueline Brown, MSN, APRN, the Director of Public
Health and Environment for Prowers County will be designated as the
director of Public Health for the Kiowa County Public Health Agency.
Additionally, the public health staff from Prowers County, including
public health nursing staff, will be providing the required public
health services for Kiowa County as they are scheduled and needed. The
Prowers staff will also manage all public health emergencies such as
communicable disease outbreaks or other such events for Kiowa County,
including the Health Alert Network notification and the Colorado Disease
Reporting systems.
The
mission of the public health agency is the delivery of the required and
necessary public health services. The public health nursing staff will
not be providing primary health care or care of the sick, including
blood pressure monitoring. Residents will be referred for any of those
types of requests for services to a primary health care provider.
Currently, plans are to publish and post the schedules monthly to
inform county residents when immunization and WIC clinics will be held.
Bent County Public Health will continue to provide the WIC clinic once
per month through a previous arrangement. Public health staff is
currently and will continue to call and/or send reminders to parents for
their children to obtain immunizations. Additionally, contact
information for the agency will be posted on the Kiowa County web site
for all public health staff along with other public health information
links and information, including vital statistics. Clinics will continue
to be provided at the Kiowa County Public Health office at 1206 Luther
St, in Eads.
“We
look forward to partnering with Kiowa County to provide public health
services to the residents of Kiowa County” states Jackie Brown, RN.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for Kiowa and Prowers County to work
together. Small counties in Colorado have fewer resources, both money
and people who are qualified to provide public health services. They
must become creative and think differently, while at the same time
fulfilling their responsibilities to the public they serve.”
