THE NURSE NAVIGATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN PUEBLO, A
COLORADO MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, ACCESS2CARE, LLC, AND

SUMMARY:
This Ordinance approves a nurse navigation agreement between Access2Care LLC
and the City of Pueblo and establishes Proj. PS2203 to manage grant funds related to
such agreement.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
This is a 2-year pilot program grant that is through the Colorado Division of Homeland
Security. It will help connect the community to nurse navigation services rather than
utilizing 9-1-1 and emergency rooms. Willing callers will be sent to a nurse’s line after a
thorough list of questions have identified an appropriate need. The long-term effect
could be an improved use of connection to and use of medical resources as well as a
reduction in 9-1-1 calls.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There is no cost to the city. Staff time will be required for project management, as well
as grant monitoring and reporting.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable.

Approval of the Ordinance.
