Colorado Springs, CO |
Hello,
I am Mary Hagedorn, a doctorally prepared faculty and Certified
Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in Colorado. I am the Director
and Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Provider for the Fountain
School Based Health Program (FSBHP) located in a rural, medically
underserved community 25 miles South of Colorado Springs.
The program has 2 clinical sites based in the school system,
one at Fountain-Ft. Carson High School, and one at the Lorraine
Family Community Center that houses the Lorraine Alternative
School and is within walking distance of the Fountain Middle
School and Aragon Elementary School. The FSBHP provides primary
health care services to 5,000 students in School District
8. For students who are classified as indigent and uninsured
(38%), this program serves as their primary health care provider.
Fountain is a rural community of 10,000 residents that is
midway between Colorado Springs and Pueblo, Colorado. Prior
to establishing the FSBHP, the nearest health services were
found in the adjoining community of Security/Widefield. In
Security/Widefield there is one family practice with 2 providers.
