UCHealth Northern Colorado Foundation

As the world faces a pandemic, our community is coming together to address an unprecedented challenge unlike anything most of us have ever seen. Neighbors are helping neighbors. Pharmacies and grocery stores are staying open to serve the public, and their employees are working tirelessly to stock and deliver essentials. On social media, messages of gratitude and hope abound. People are sharing ways to cope, through virtual fitness and meditation classes, video church services, and more. On the frontlines, we have our health care workers.

Our cancer patient assistance funds help patients with the financial distress they can experience as they undergo the often lengthy treatments a cancer diagnosis involves. We have an ambitious goal to raise $100,000 by the end of the year to replenish and grow our cancer patient assistance funds. These dollars help pay expenses such as rent, mortgage, utilities, gasoline and more. There is a demonstrated need to increase not only the amount granted to each patient but how many patients we can assist. Learn more and donate today.

Following through on its mission to provide medical care close to home, UCHealth has opened a new medical campus in Greeley, southwest of the intersection of U.S. 34 and 65th Avenue. The campus comprises Greeley Hospital and Greeley Medical Center.
