Celebrating Passion and
Recognizing Outcomes in
Child Care Health
It doesn’t happen often, but our Emergency Department and urgent care locations
sometimes must serve as emergent stops for women in labor — on average one a
year. It’s an infrequent but high-risk event.
As a collaborator and content specialist, Children’s Hospital Colorado school nurse
consultant Theresa Rapstine works every day as a resource for childcare health
consultants and school heath nurses across Colorado. She’s a tireless support for
children with complex medical needs in licensed child care programs.
As any healthcare professional knows, skill trainings are an essential part of
professional development. With Healthy Child Care Colorado, a nonprofit that
supports health and wellness in child care systems, Theresa spearheaded work to
create updated competencies with live links to serve as a state-wide resource for
child care health consultants, providers and child care centers.
