Three counties — covering more than 1.5 million people across the metro area — are racing to stand up their own public health agencies before the Tri-County Health Department takes its final breath at the end of the year.
The top five leading causes of death in 2020 in Arapahoe County: cancer, heart disease, COVID-19, accidents and Alzheimer’s disease. Eight percent of children there live below the poverty level.
In neighboring Adams County, where nearly half the population belongs to a minority group, 12% of children live below the poverty line. Weidenbach, who has served as the health department director in Casper, Wyoming, said she is keeping a close eye on ensuring good health care access for residents. Mays, with the Colorado School of Public Health, said how the counties choose their board members is important.
Much of that money will come from federal, state and local grants, as well as from foundations and other private sources. But those are revenue streams that Adams County will need to stay on top of. Just last week, the county submitted deadline grant applications for the federal Women, Infants and Children food assistance program and Colorado’s Women’s Wellness Connection program.
