Who better to ring in 30 years with than your community, partners, and colleagues?

The Health District of Northern Larimer County welcomed community members, community partners, and current and former staff and board members to its headquarters on October 16th for a Community Open House. This event celebrated three decades of enhancing community health. The Health District is excited about the organization’s plans for the future.

Open House attendees enjoyed an exhibit showcasing the Health District’s history. Visitors received tours of the Family Dental Clinic, along with an array of snacks and treats.
Most importantly, Health District Board President Molly Gutilla shared a vision for the Health District’s next 30 years.

“Our board is fully committed to building upon the past and leading into the future,” Board President Gutilla said in remarks at the event. “We are enthusiastic about the insights the staff and the community have provided us about what the organization needs to thrive and grow its impact.”

Gutilla announced two new approaches for the Health District to enhance care in its three priority service areas of dental care, behavioral health, and access to care:

Health District to Develop Integrated Health Campus

The Health District will transform its health services by developing an integrated health campus. This campus will be located in north Fort Collins at 120 and 202 Bristlecone and will house all three of its core services. The services are the Family Dental Clinic, Larimer Health Connect, and Mental Health Connections.

The Health District’s services are currently located across three sites in Fort Collins. Consolidating services throughout 2025 will centralize access to care.

Health District to Fund High-Impact, Community-Centered Health Projects

The Health District is planning to fund projects that will support local organizations that need it most beginning in 2026.
