  Presenter: 

Cari Davis, Executive Director, Colorado Springs Health Foundation

 

Body

  Summary:

An informational update from the Colorado Springs Health Foundation.

The current Councilmember Liaisons are Councilmember Avila and Councilmember Crow-Iverson

 

  Background: 

When the citizens of Colorado Springs voted to lease Memorial Health System to the University of Colorado Health in 2012, they also decided to establish a foundation. This historic vote ensured that the proceeds of the lease would benefit the health and wellness of El Paso and Teller County residents for generations to come.

The Colorado Springs Health Foundation was created to fulfill this responsibility. Each year, a percentage of the invested corpus is awarded in grants to qualified organizations focused on improving community health in El Paso and Teller Counties.
