Western Colorado Pediatrics, a division of Primary Care Partners, recently donated $5,486 to the Kids Aid Backpack Program.

The Kids Aid Backpack Program is a local non-profit dedicated to providing weekend food support to School District 51 children who might otherwise go hungry. To help meet this need, Western Colorado Pediatrics pledged to donate $5 for every well-child check completed between July 1 and Aug. 1. Thanks to the dedication of Western Colorado Pediatrics providers and the families they serve, 1,098 well-child visits were completed during that time.

Western Colorado Pediatrics presented the check to Tessa Kaiser, executive director of Kids Aid.
