Colorado Rural Mobile Health Project (CRMHP)
Kids in Need of Dentistry (KIND) provides high quality, comprehensive dental care and education to kids in need throughout Colorado. In 2005, KIND provided 5,531 patient visits through all their programs. The Denver clinics provided 2,208 of those visits, El Paso provided 727 and Chopper Topper provided 1,545. The Miles for Smiles program started in 1998. From 1998 – 2004, it served the Western Slope. After learning that Crowley and Otero Counties have the highest percentage of untreated decay in children’s teeth in Colorado, KIND began services in the Eastern Plains in 2004. In 2005, they provided 1,051 patient visits in Denver and the Eastern Plains. Grants were awarded for three projects: expanded services in southeastern Colorado at Otero Junior College, services in Walsenburg, and services in Salida. KIND received $100,000.00.
