Children's Clinic
The Children's Clinic is a primary care facility sponsored by Poudre Valley Hospital that provides pediatric medical and dental care for the children of disadvantaged families. This clinic provides immunizations and other preventive care for children as well as other support and education of their families.
To date, the foundation has contributed a total of $93,175 to provide support of the clinic to continue its important work on behalf of the children of the community.
Respite Care
Respite Care provides a home in Fort Collins, Colorado where children with developmental disabilities can have a "home away from home." This facility is open 24 hours a day seven days a week to provide short-term care so that family members can have time to pursue other responsibilities. Total grants to Respite Care now aggregate $59,000.
Respite Care has completed a capital campaign to raise funds for a new facility in the southern portion of Fort Collins to better serve Larimer County families. The foundation pledged $50,000 in support of this important project.

The Poudre Valley Hospital Foundation secured a matching grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for a collaborative program called The Community Mental Health and Substance Abuse Partnership.
