Atlas Analysis
A strong Colorado oral-health opportunity because it supports both direct pediatric prevention and the workforce pipeline needed to expand access. The required pre-proposal conversation makes early contact important. Applicants should build a concise outcomes framework around completed care, dental-home connection, training completion or employment rather than treating the award as general operating support.
From Funding to Implementation · School Health Solution
Turn school-health funding into a clinically capable care model.
Dr. Miltie N9+ can support clinician-directed remote exams in school settings, helping care teams move beyond video-only encounters when a funded program calls for stronger pediatric access.
