Better Together: Colorado PACE and CVNA Bring Foot Care to the Day Center
Sometimes, meaningful healthcare collaboration starts with a simple question:
How can we make it easier for people to get the care they need?
Recently, Colorado PACE and Colorado Visiting Nurse Association (CVNA) answered that question by teaming up to offer a Medical Foot Care clinic at the Colorado PACE Day Center.
The collaboration brought CVNA’s medical foot care expertise directly to Colorado PACE participants, creating a convenient opportunity to receive preventive foot care without having to travel to a separate clinic.
More than foot care
Healthy feet are an important part of overall health, particularly as we age. CVNA’s Medical Foot Care services can include a comprehensive foot assessment, screening for neuropathy and circulation concerns, blood pressure monitoring, medication review, assessment of chronic conditions and individualized health education.
Regular foot care can also help older adults maintain mobility and independence. By bringing the clinic to the Colorado PACE Day Center, participants could access this important service in a setting where they already receive healthcare, therapy, social support and other services.
Colorado PACE is designed around a comprehensive, team-based approach to care, with services coordinated through its interdisciplinary team and delivered in ways that help participants remain as healthy and independent as possible in their homes and communities.
The power of a connected network
This collaboration also highlights an important benefit of the Care Synergy network.
Care Synergy brings together mission-driven, not-for-profit healthcare organizations with complementary areas of expertise. Colorado PACE and Colorado Visiting Nurse Association are two of those organizations, each contributing unique services and experience to the broader network.
Being part of the same network can create opportunities to share ideas, connect resources and develop collaborations that might not otherwise happen.
In this case, that meant bringing together Colorado PACE’s convenient, comprehensive care environment and CVNA’s expertise in medical foot care to make an important preventive service more accessible.
It’s a relatively simple collaboration, but it reflects something much bigger: when healthcare organizations work together, they can create more opportunities to keep people healthy, active and connected to their communities.
We’re proud to see Colorado PACE and Colorado Visiting Nurse Association putting the strength of the Care Synergy network into action — and helping our community stay healthier, one step at a time.
