WE ARE THE ONLY ORGANIZATION IN OUR SERVICE AREA THAT PROVIDES A FULL SPECTRUM OF INTEGRATED MEDICAL, DENTAL, AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE TO PATIENTS OF ALL AGES, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. CLINICA’S MISSION IS TO BE THE MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE PROVIDER OF CHOICE FOR LOW-INCOME AND OTHER UNDERSERVED PEOPLE IN WEST ADAMS, SOUTH BOULDER, BROOMFIELD, AND GILPIN COUNTIES. OUR CARE IS CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE AND PREVENTION FOCUSED. WE ENVISION THAT EVERY MEMBER OF OUR TARGET POPULATION WILL HAVE ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY PREVENTIVE MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE THAT INTEGRATES BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE. CLINICA OPERATES FACILITIES IN THE CITIES OF BLACK HAWK, BOULDER, DENVER, LAFAYETTE, NEDERLAND, THORNTON, AND WESTMINSTER. THE DESIGNATED ZIP CODE TABULATION AREAS (ZCTAS) THAT REPRESENT CLINICA’S SERVICE AREA INCLUDE A LOW-INCOME POPULATION OF 151,852, OF WHOM 57% ARE NOT CURRENTLY SERVED BY A HEALTH CENTER. TWENTY-SIX PERCENT OF ALL SERVICE AREA RESIDENTS HAVE NO USUAL SOURCE OF CARE AND 14% HAVE DELAYED OR NOT SOUGHT CARE DUE TO HIGH COST. THE TARGETED AREA INCLUDES FEDERALLY-DESIGNATED MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREA/POPULATIONS (MUA/PS) AS WELL AS PRIMARY MEDICAL CARE, MENTAL HEALTH, AND DENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SHORTAGE AREAS (HPSAS). UNDER THIS APPLICATION, CLINICA IS REQUESTING FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO INCREASE ACCESS TO THE COMPLEMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES INTEGRATED WITHIN OUR PRIMARY HEALTH CARE MODEL.

NOBLE CLINICS’ MISSION IS TO ENSURE ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE AND PROMOTE THE WELL-BEING OF THEIR PATIENTS, STAFF, AND COMMUNITIES. THEY BELIEVE IN THE RIGHT TO QUALITY HEALTHCARE SERVICES THAT ARE EFFICIENT, EFFECTIVE, AND ACCESSIBLE, DELIVERED WITH CULTURAL COMPETENCE AND PROFESSIONAL EXCELLENCE. NOBLE CLINICS PROVIDES CARE TO ALL INDIVIDUALS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. WITH A DEDICATED TEAM OF NEARLY 200 EMPLOYEES, THEY SERVE OVER 22,000 PATIENTS DURING 64,000 VISITS ANNUALLY. NOBLE CLINICS IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING QUALITY DENTAL SERVICES AND AIMS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS RECEIVING CARE BY EXPANDING CLINIC HOURS AT TWO LOCATIONS: WAUTOMA, WI, AND STEVENS POINT, WI. WITH FUNDING FROM THE EXPANDED HOURS PROGRAM, NOBLE CLINICS SEEKS TO REDUCE BARRIERS TO CARE, PARTICULARLY FOR THOSE WITH ALTERNATIVE WORK SCHEDULES AND ACCESSIBILITY CHALLENGES. THE EXPANSION WILL FOCUS ON TWO KEY AREAS: EXTENDING CLINIC HOURS AND INCREASING STAFFING. SINCE OPENING ITS DENTAL CLINIC IN STEVENS POINT IN 2019, NOBLE CLINICS HAS EXPERIENCED A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN DEMAND FOR DENTAL SERVICES. WITH A GROWING DEMAND FOR OTHER HEALTHCARE SERVICES, NOBLE CLINICS IS IMPLEMENTING STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY, HOWEVER DENTAL CARE REMAINS THE HIGHEST NECESSITY. IN THIS CITY OF UNDER 26,000 PEOPLE, NOBLE CLINICS SERVES OVER 3,700 UNIQUE PATIENTS WITH NEARLY 10,000 VISITS ANNUALLY. DESPITE THIS HIGH VOLUME, ACCESS REMAINS A CHALLENGE, WITH A WAITLIST OF ALMOST 2,000 PATIENTS. THE FLAGSHIP CLINIC FOR NOBLE CLINICS OPENED IN 1997 AT THEIR WAUTOMA SITE. HERE, ALL SERVICE LINES ARE AVAILABLE, WITH DENTAL CARE SURPASSING ALL OTHERS IN DEMAND. THIS TOWN, WITH JUST OVER 2,200 RESIDENTS, HAS A SUBSTANTIAL NEED FOR DENTAL SERVICES. IN 2023, THE DENTAL CLINIC AT THIS LOCATION SERVED OVER 3,400 PATIENTS, WITH MORE THAN 10,000 VISITS, COMPARABLE TO THE VOLUME AT STEVENS POINT. THIS HIGH DEMAND EXTENDS BEYOND THE TOWN INTO THE RURAL REGIONS, RESULTING IN A WAITLIST OF 1,500 PATIENTS FOR DENTAL SERVICES. UNDER THIS PROGRAM, NOBLE CLINICS PLANS TO EXTEND HOURS AT BOTH LOCATIONS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO DENTAL HEALTHCARE. THE STEVENS POINT SITE WILL INCREASE ITS CURRENT CLINIC HOURS BY AN ADDITIONAL EIGHT HOURS PER WEEK (15%), INCLUDING A NEW SATURDAY MORNING CLINIC. AT THE WAUTOMA SITE, DENTAL SERVICES WILL ADD SIX HOURS TO EXPAND EVENING HOURS AND INTRODUCE SATURDAY CLINIC AVAILABILITY, REPRESENTING JUST OVER A 10% INCREASE IN HOURS. TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS, NOBLE CLINICS WILL STRATEGICALLY ADJUST EXISTING PROVIDER AND STAFF SCHEDULES AND HIRE ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL. EACH LOCATION WILL REQUIRE AT LEAST ONE NEW DENTAL PROVIDER, ENABLING A COMBINED INCREASE OF 1,400 PATIENTS AND 5,600 ADDITIONAL VISITS PER YEAR. THIS EXPANSION WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE WAIT TIMES AND ENHANCE THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THESE COMMUNITIES. THESE INITIATIVES DEMONSTRATE NOBLE CLINICS' COMMITMENT TO OVERCOMING BARRIERS TO PATIENT CARE AND ACCESS IN PREDOMINANTLY RURAL COMMUNITIES. BY STRATEGICALLY EXPANDING AND OFFERING SERVICES, NOBLE CLINICS AIMS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR PATIENTS WHO MAY FACE LONG WAITS FOR AFFORDABLE DENTAL CARE, FROM A COMPASSIONATE ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES ESSENTIAL SERVICES TO CENTRAL WISCONSIN COMMUNITY MEMBERS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY.

THE SEXUAL ASSAULT SERVICES CULTURALLY SPECIFIC PROGRAM (SAS CULTURALLY SPECIFIC PROGRAM) WAS CREATED BY THE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2005 (VAWA 2005), 34 U.S.C. 12511(C), AND IS PART OF THE FIRST FEDERAL FUNDING STREAM SOLELY DEDICATED TO THE PROVISION OF DIRECT INTERVENTION AND RELATED ASSISTANCE FOR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. INTERVENTION AND RELATED ASSISTANCE INCLUDE ADVOCACY, ACCOMPANIMENT (E.G., ACCOMPANYING VICTIMS TO COURT, MEDICAL FACILITIES, POLICE DEPARTMENTS, ETC.), CRISIS INTERVENTION AND SUPPORT SERVICES, AND REFERRALS, AMONG OTHER SERVICES. UNDER THIS PROGRAM, SUCH SERVICES MAY BE PROVIDED TO ADULT, YOUTH, AND CHILD VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, FAMILY AND HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS OF SUCH VICTIMS, AND THOSE COLLATERALLY AFFECTED BY THE VICTIMIZATION. SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT FROM CULTURALLY SPECIFIC COMMUNITIES FREQUENTLY CONFRONT UNIQUE CHALLENGES WHEN SEEKING ASSISTANCE, SUCH AS LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL BARRIERS. CULTURALLY SPECIFIC COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS ARE MORE LIKELY TO UNDERSTAND THESE CHALLENGES BECAUSE THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE CULTURE, LANGUAGE, AND BACKGROUND OF VICTIMS FROM THEIR COMMUNITIES, WHO IN TURN ARE MORE INCLINED TO SEEK SERVICES FROM SUCH ORGANIZATIONS. THE GOAL OF THE SAS CULTURALLY SPECIFIC PROGRAM IS TO ESTABLISH, MAINTAIN, AND EXPAND CULTURALLY SPECIFIC INTERVENTION AND RELATED ASSISTANCE FOR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, WHICH SERVE A VITAL ROLE IN PROVIDING SERVICES THAT ARE RELEVANT FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES. THROUGH THIS NEW SEXUAL ASSAULT SERVICES CULTURALLY SPECIFIC PROGRAM PROJECT, ALIANZA NACIONAL DE CAMPESINAS, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CAMPESINOS SIN FRONTERAS AND LIDERES CAMPESINAS, WILL PROVIDE CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY TRAUMA-INFORMED RESPONSIVE OUTREACH, INFORMATION, REFERRALS AND DIRECT INTERVENTION SERVICES FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS TO IMMIGRANT AND MIGRANT WOMEN, INCLUDING FARMWORKER VICTIM/SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND THEIR FAMILIES IN YUMA COUNTY, ARIZONA AND IMPERIAL COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.

ACCORDING TO THE 2016 KIDS COUNT IN NM, NM RANKS VERY LOW, 49TH AMONG THE STATES ON OVERALL CHILD WELL-BEING, WITH A PROPORTION OF ITS CHILDREN-20% OF FAMILIES LIVE AT OR BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL. IN WHICH THE HOUSEHOLD HEAD LACKS A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. IN ADDITION, 36% OF THE STATE?S FAMILIES THAT LIVE IN POVERTY ARE HEADED BY A NON-HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE. READING PROFICIENCY IS A CRUCIAL ELEMENT OF SCHOLASTIC SUCCESS, BUT IN NM, 77% OF THE CHILDREN ARE NOT PROFICIENT IN READING BY THE 4TH GRADE. NM CHILDREN LIVE IN FAMILIES WHERE THE HEAD OF THE HOUSEHOLD LACKED A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. THESE NUMBERS RANK NM 47TH IN THE NATION ON THIS INDICATOR. THEREFORE, CHILDREN?S CHANCES OF BEING HEALTHY, DOING WELL IN SCHOOL, AND GROWING UP TO BE PRODUCTIVE AND CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS OF SOCIETY ARE TIED TO THEIR EXPERIENCES IN THE EARLY YEARS. EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THAT POVERTY AND LOW SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS ARE LINKED TO POOR HEALTH AND EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES AND MAY HAVE PARTICULARLY LONG-LASTING AND POWERFUL EFFECTS ON CHILDREN. IN NM, CHILDREN OF COLOR FACE SERIOUS CHALLENGES AT MUCH GREATER RATES THAN DO MANY OF THEIR PEERS. CHILDREN TEND TO HAVE WORSE OUTCOMES IN ECONOMIC WELL-BEING, EDUCATION, AND HEALTH, AND IN FACT, RACIAL AND ETHNIC DISPARITIES EXIST IN NEARLY EVERY INDICATOR OF CHILD WELL-BEING. CHILDREN OF COLOR ARE MORE LIKELY TO LIVE IN POVERTY AND IN HIGH-POVERTY AREAS AND A LESS LIKELY TO HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTH INSURANCE AND HIGH-QUALITY EARLY EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. RACIAL AND ETHNIC DISPARITIES ARE OF A PARTICULAR CONCERN IN NM BECAUSE 75% CHILDREN ARE CHILDREN OF COLOR. IN ORDER TO GIVE NM AND KIDS MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO SUCCEED, WE MUST BRING TOGETHER PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS AND TAKE A DELIBERATE AND COORDINATED TWO-GENERATIONAL APPROACH. THIS IS AN AREA THAT THE FOSTER GRANDPARENT PROGRAM WILL ASSIST IN IMPROVING EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES.

BY THE YEAR 2030, NEW MEXICO?S POPULATION OF PERSONS AGE 60 AND OLDER IS PROJECTED TO INCREASE BY 70%. BY THE YEAR 2030, 32.5% OF NEW MEXICO POPULATION WILL RANK 3RD IN THE NATION IN PERCENTAGE OF POPULATION AGE 60 OR OLDER. THE 85+ POPULATION WILL BE MORE THAN TRIPLE FROM 23,306 IN 2000 TO 75,629 IN 2030. IN NEW MEXICO 15% OF THE POPULATION 60 OR OLDER LIVE AT OR BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL; 17% LIVE AT 125% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. NEW MEXICO?S GROWING POPULATION OF OLDER ADULTS REFLECTS THE AGING OF ITS BABY BOOMERS, AS WELL AS THE CONTINUING MIGRATION OF RETIREES AND OTHERS TO WESTERN STATES. THIS STATE CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE INCREASING DEMANDS FOR SERVICES FROM PERSONS WITH LOW INCOMES. ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL FOUNDATION TO END SENIOR HUNGER, MORE THAN 42,300 NEW MEXICANS AGE 60 OR OLDER ARE FOOD INSECURE. THESE SENIORS ARE NOT SURE THEY HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY FOOD; AND MANY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT. THUS, THE PROBLEMS OF HUNGER AND FOOD INSECURITY IN NEW MEXICO ARE MAJOR. IN NEW MEXICO OVER 40.3% OF COMMUNITY-LIVING POPULATION AGE 65 AND OLDER HAVE DISABILITIES; MANY HAVE MORE THAN ONE DISABILITY; AND A GREAT NUMBER SUFFER FROM ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE OR RELATED DISORDER. IN ELABORATION, IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT SENIORS ISOLATED IN THEIR HOMES, THE LACK OF COMPANIONSHIP CAN CONTRIBUTE TO A WIDE VARIETY OF PROBLEMS (DETERIORATION IN MENTAL WELL-BEING, INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO CON ARTISTS WHO PREY ON THE ELDERLY, ETC.) THAT IN TURN CAN HASTEN DEPENDENCY AND LEAD TO INSTITUTIONALIZATION. REGULAR SUPPORTIVE VISITS FROM CARING PEERS CAN HELP DECREASE FEELINGS OF ISOLATION (NMALTSD 2017-2021 STATE PLAN). CONCILIO CDS INC. IS FOCUSING ON ADDRESSING THESE COMMUNITY NEEDS AND IS ANTICIPATING THAT COMPANIONSHIP WILL CONTRIBUTE TO POSITIVE OUTCOMES FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING.
