With the recent cuts to health care funding by the Trump Administration and his stooges in Congress (see Evans, Gabe) it is now more important than ever that we support the local, grassroots medical facilities that don’t turn away people over money.
Enter Kids First.

With 8 clinics across Adams County – including 6 in schools – Kids First is providing health care to thousands of Adams County youth who wouldn’t get care otherwise.
You are invited to the BACK TO HEALTH -Kids First Breakfast on September 18th, 2025, at Adams City High School (7200 Quebec Way, Commerce City, CO), 7:30 am. There is no cost to attend. There will be updates regarding Kids First continued growth to support Adams County children.
This year Kids First opened a new pediatric primary care clinic inside of an affordable housing complex to serve the children of Westminster. This is their second year-round clinic to serve ages birth to 21.
The speakers will be Dr. Tonia Lopez and her parents Tony and Dottie Johnson. Dr. Lopez is a current board member of Kids First but more importantly a former client of Kids First. Tonia is a graduate of Adams 14. Tonia went on to become a teacher, asst. principal and a senior member of the Adams 14 organization. Now she is a proud principal in the Jeffco School District. The Johnsons have lived, worked, and supported the Commerce City Community for over 30 years. The family story is a true testament of how Kids First impacts the lives of the community.
Although I can’t attend this breakfast due to a work conflict, I have just donated to this vital community health care provider. I hope you will too.
