In August 2022, Altitude Pediatrics began partnering with Reach Out and Read Colorado to support early literacy goals in Mesa County. Within the first year, this site far surpassed the number of well-child visits expected for this new clinic. Overcoming the challenges of a pandemic and establishing a successful new clinic required a dedicated staff and an exceptional Site Coordinator. Altitude Pediatrics rose to the occasion, led by an outstanding provider team and Shannon Morlan, Volunteer Site Coordinator!
Altitude Pediatrics is our largest partner clinic in Mesa County, conducting more than 10,000 well-child visits annually, and Shannon consistently goes above and beyond in managing the Reach Out and Read program.
She recognizes the significance of testimonials in securing funding for Reach Out and Read Colorado and encourages providers at Altitude Pediatrics to share stories regularly. The entire clinic has fully embraced Reach Out and Read and remains dedicated to supporting early literacy in Mesa County!
Shannon’s dedication to providing high-quality books for families visiting Altitude Pediatrics is truly inspiring. Her passion for reading and community improvement is what sets Shannon apart and makes her invaluable to Altitude Pediatrics and Reach Out and Read Colorado.
Thank you, Shannon, and to the whole Altitude Pediatrics team, for all you do!
