The Health District has received an 18-month, $102,967 grant from the Colorado Health Foundation to increase the number of local residents with health insurance coverage.

The grant will be used to help extend free, in-person enrollment assistance provided by Larimer Health Connect through the next open enrollment period for the Connect for Health Colorado Marketplace, which runs November 2015 through January 2016.

The Colorado Health Foundation works to make Colorado the healthiest state in the nation by ensuring that all Colorado kids are fit and healthy and that all Coloradans achieve stable, affordable and adequate health coverage to improve their health with support from a network of primary health care and community services. To advance their mission, the Foundation engages the community through grantmaking, public policy, investing in evaluation, private sector partnerships and strategic communications.
