Chaffee County public health to continue Connect for Health Colorado navigator services with $89,800 agreement
Summary
The board approved an $89,800 renewal with Connect for Health Colorado to fund county staff who provide enrollment navigation and benefits‑connect services from July 2026 through July 2027.
Commissioners approved a one‑year renewal with Connect for Health Colorado to fund Chaffee County Public Health staff that serve as enrollment navigators and benefit‑connectors.
A county presenter said the agreement is essentially a service contract that underwrites county staffing: "It is for a total of $89,000 $89,800 running from July 2026 through July 2027," staff said, describing the funding as revenue to the county that supports the coordinator position. Commissioners described the service as valuable and voted to approve the renewal.
Staff did not have the prior year's award amount in hand at the meeting; they said they would follow up if commissioners want a year‑over‑year comparison of funding levels.
