Thank you, Holy Cross Energy.

Community Health Services is grateful to welcome Holy Cross Energy as a [Partner-level] corporate sponsor.

Holy Cross is a member-owned, not-for-profit electric cooperative that has served western Colorado since 1939. Many of its members are also our patients. In 2025, CHS cared for 1,657 patients in our clinic and reached 1,432 students through school-based dental care. Our sliding fee scale means no one is turned away for inability to pay. Holy Cross Energy’s support helps keep that care affordable from Aspen to Parachute.

Holy Cross members facing a difficult month may also qualify for the co-op’s payment assistance and income-qualified programs. Learn more at holycross.com.

¡Gracias, ! ⚡

Nos alegra dar la bienvenida a Holy Cross Energy como patrocinador corporativo de Community Health Services.

Al igual que CHS, Holy Cross es una organización sin fines de lucro arraigada en este valle y es propiedad de los miembros a quienes sirve. Muchos de esos miembros también son nuestros pacientes: familias trabajadoras, personas mayores y jóvenes que confían en nosotros para recibir atención preventiva accesible y confidencial, desde la salud de la mujer y las pruebas de detección de cáncer hasta las vacunas y la atención dental escolar.

Su apoyo ayuda a que esta atención siga al alcance de todos, sin importar su capacidad de pago.

A heartfelt thank-you to Aspen Valley Health for donating an ultrasound machine to Community Health Services.

This gift happened because Ines Fagre, our Prenatal and Women's Health Clinical Administrator, saw what this equipment could mean for our patients and kept at it until it was in our clinic. Ines, thank you for championing the people we serve.

With the ultrasound on-site, more of our patients can receive prenatal and women's health care close to home, from people they know and trust.

Thank you, Aspen Valley Health, for your generosity and partnership in caring for our community.

Agradecemos de corazón a Aspen Valley Health por donar una máquina de ultrasonido a Community Health Services.

Esta donación fue posible gracias a la perseverancia de Ines Fagre, nuestra Administradora Clínica de Salud Prenatal y de la Mujer, quien reconoció lo que este equipo significaría para nuestras pacientes y no se detuvo hasta tenerlo en nuestra clínica. ¡Gracias, Ines, por tu dedicación a nuestra comunidad!

Con el ultrasonido en nuestra clínica, más pacientes pueden recibir atención prenatal y de salud de la mujer cerca de casa, con proveedores que conocen y en quienes confían.

Gracias, Aspen Valley Health, por su generosidad y su colaboración en el cuidado de nuestra comunidad.

Congratulations to our own Hazzell Chévez who presented this week at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's Family Planning Program Fall Conference in Denver.

The conference brought together clinical, administrative, and fiscal staff from family planning providers across Colorado.

Hazzell is our Clinical Program Coordinator and a medical assistant. She joined the CHS staff in 2023 after serving on our Board of Directors. Her work is part of why patients across Pitkin County and the Roaring Fork Valley can get affordable, bilingual women's health care close to home.

Thank you, Hazzell, for representing CHS so well.

It was such a pleasure to welcome Judith Alvarez and her husband Armando to our staff meeting last week.

We are inspired by their dedication to serving vulnerable populations through La Clínica del Pueblo, Safe and Abundant Nutrition Alliance-SANA, and their effort to save the Cavern Springs Mobile Home Park, to name a few.

All of us at CHS are proud to call you our colleagues and allies.

September is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month.

Five cancers fall under that heading — cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar. Cervical cancer is the one we can do the most about. Regular Pap and HPV testing finds changes years before they become cancer, and the HPV vaccine prevents most cases outright.

At Aspen Community Health, Pap tests are free for women ages 21–64 who are uninsured or underinsured and at or below 250% of the federal poverty level, through our partnership with Colorado's Women's Wellness Connection. We also offer HPV vaccination and colposcopies.

If you're overdue, or you've never been, we'd be glad to see you. Care is confidential, and no one is turned away for inability to pay.

Call 970-920-5420 or request an appointment: https://aspencommunityhealth.org/request-an-appointment/

Septiembre es el Mes de Concientización sobre el Cáncer Ginecológico.

El cáncer cervical es uno de los más prevenibles. La prueba de Papanicolaou detecta cambios años antes de que se conviertan en algo grave, y la vacuna contra el VPH previene la mayoría de los casos.

En Aspen Community Health, el Papanicolaou es gratuito para mujeres de 21 a 64 años sin seguro o con seguro limitado que califiquen. Atención confidencial. A nadie se le niega el servicio por no poder pagar.

We are sad to say goodbye to our talented family planning nurse, Brenda Oliver, MSN, RN, and also very happy to celebrate her years of dedicated service to the women of the Roaring Fork Valley.

Since joining Community Health Services in 2022, Brenda has led our family planning and STI programs and worked as a patient navigator, which is a plain way of saying she is the one who sat with people, answered the hard questions, and made sure nobody fell through the cracks. She did it with warmth, patience, and no judgment. Our patients felt that. So did the rest of us.

Brenda, thank you. This valley is healthier because you showed up for it. We are going to miss you.

We're grateful to announce that Alpine Bank has joined Community Health Services as a Partner-level corporate sponsor.

For more than 50 years, CHS has been the Roaring Fork Valley's front door to affordable preventive care — from Aspen to Parachute. In 2025 we served 2,409 people, our highest number in over a decade, and no one is turned away for inability to pay. Alpine Bank's support helps make that possible.

Alpine Bank has been a locally owned Colorado community bank since 1973, and this partnership reflects exactly that: local dollars, local care, local neighbors.

And Alpine's customers are part of this. The bank funds its community sponsorships through its Loyalty Debit Card program — every time a customer uses their card, Alpine sets aside a dime for local nonprofits. The program has been running since 1997 and has returned more than $24 million to Colorado communities, including $2.49 million last year. If you bank with Alpine, ask your branch about the Community card.

Thank you, Alpine Bank.

Interested in becoming a corporate sponsor? CHS partnership levels begin at $1,000 and include recognition on our website, in our newsletter and annual report, across social media, and in local press. Every gift is tax-deductible — CHS is a 501(c)(3), EIN 84-0609057.
