We wanted to let our community partners, funders, supporters and friends know that after 43 years, Kids First Health Care will no longer be providing school nursing services to our partners at Adams County School District 14 (Adams 14).

In a decision by the Adams 14 Board of Education and leadership team, it was determined that Kids First Health Care’s contract will end on December 31, 2025, and the district will manage its own school nursing team internally.

We are deeply appreciative of our long partnership with the district, and we wish them the very best in their new model of school nursing.

Former Kids First Health Care Executive Director, Mrs. Betty Pepin, was instrumental in supporting the establishment of the Kids First Health Care School Nursing Program in Adams 14. Cammy Manning, Kids First’s Director of School Nursing, has served Adams 14 students and families for 25 years!
