Health Office

CA's health team ensures a healthy learning environment for students, faculty, and staff.

We are committed to helping students learn not just academics but also the many aspects of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including good nutrition, daily physical activity, and stress management and reduction.

For your child's health and safety, Colorado Academy contracts for school nursing services with Children’s Hospital Colorado. Through training and supervision by a registered nurse, CA’s onsite Health Assistant administers to the health needs of students. The school Nurse Consultant functions as a liaison between the Children’s Hospital and the school by providing health information and consultation, health care planning, medication training and delegation, and health referrals and resources. The Nurse Consultant assists the school to provide the safest, most appropriate health care within the school setting.

Our Health Assistants are non-medical personnel with First Aid/CPR training, and, under general direction of the school Nurse Consultant, administer to the health needs of the students, perform selected health care responsibilities as delegated by the Consultant Registered Nurse, and provide assistance in the assessment, development, and evaluation of health services. The Health Assistants cover Childcare, Pre-K, Lower School, Middle School, and Upper School health offices.

Kisa graduated from Colorado Mesa University with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and immediately went to work at a Grand Junction, Colo., hospital where she helped patients needing surgery. As you would expect, many of those in her care were patients with COVID-19, giving Kisa first-hand and deep knowledge of what it takes to address the pandemic. She recently moved to Denver and worked as a registered nurse case manager, helping to provide disease management of pediatric patients, as well as adults. She is looking forward to bringing comfort and care to our students. She will promote positive health practices as well as be available to address the illnesses and injuries that often find their way to our health offices.
