SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE BUDGETING AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS IN THE
AMOUNT OF $201,869 TO PROJECT PS2203 FOR THE NURSE
NAVIGATION PROGRAM
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance budgets and appropriates grant funds in the amount of $201,869 for the
nurse navigation program under the approved agreement between Access2Care LLC
and the City of Pueblo.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Ordinance 10463, dated May 22, 2023, approved an agreement between the City of
Pueblo and Access2Care LLC for the nurse navigation program.
Ordinance 10150, dated March 28, 2022, approved an agreement between the City of
Pueblo and Access2Care LLC for the nurse navigation program, established Project
PS2203, and budgeted and appropriated $201,869 for the project.
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
