 Deb Mohesky, Interim CEO of Longmont United Hospital: Common Spirit, spoke about the many projects currently in action. She is excited to be of service to LUH, stating, "The true heart of the hospital is the staff" adding, "The small things can be the big things. Quality service and a true heart are two essential components of a hospital."
Deb shared some of the current Strategic Plans. "Primary care is the most important, expanding options and extending Emergent Care (ED). We have not closed anything and we plan to expand our services." Strategic Plans include additional leased locations for primary care, growing the OB program, increasing surgical volume, advancing orthopedic care, heart and vascular care, and stabilizing oncology. When asked about the new hospital recently built in Longmont, she replied, "There is plenty of room in this community for two hospitals". |

Diana Fetter, the Executive Director of Project C.U.R.E, spoke about the life-saving services this important non-profit provides. They deliver medical equipment, supplies, and services to meet the needs of people in poverty, disasters, and violence. At least 400 million people have no basic healthcare. Every two seconds, someone aged 30 to 70 loses their life to noncommunicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, diabetes, or cancer. Many in the developing world have little to no access to identification, detection, or treatment.
Greenwood Animal Sanctuary received a gift from the club's Fishbowl fundraising program. Matthew Celesta from Greenwood was present to receive the check. Each month the club selects a local non-profit to benefit. Our Charity Fund also contributes to this program. Matthew spoke about the many ways they offer rehabilitation to wounded wild animals, along with their educational school programming.
