28% of our area’s population lives at or below 200% of poverty level. Add high living costs, many elderly residents, many workers lacking employer health insurance, and it’s no wonder that health care is out of reach for a great many of your Western Slope neighbors.
A gift to our Care Access Pool goes strictly to help those most in need, providing critical health care they could not otherwise afford–often preventing much more serious health problems, and sometimes saving lives.
For 2017, 2018 and 2019 we are asking our annual Care Access Pool donors to consider directing gifts to the Basalt and Edwards Capital Campaigns, funding new health centers for these communities that so need them.
