We would like to thank the Telluride Foundation for their support of the 2022 SWCAHEC Health Careers Institute, impacting the lives of an amazing group of students interested in health care. We appreciate your commitment to education, diversity and creating experiences for students from Southwest Colorado and the Four Corners!

A big thank you to the wonderful staff and faculty of Fort Lewis College. Their collaboration facilitated extraordinary learning opportunities and a welcoming environment that allowed students to create lasting memories and relationships.

We are also grateful to our community of wonderful local health care providers whose shared stories and experiences in health care in Southwest Colorado inspired us all; Mercy Hospital, Durango Fire and Rescue, the University of Colorado Schools of Nursing and Physical Therapy and HeartSafe La Plata.

At Southwestern Colorado AHEC, we are committed to creating, enhancing and maintaining a health care workforce of uniquely qualified individuals to address the health issues of Southwest Colorado communities; the summer Health Careers Institute is one of our amazing programs. We could not do this work without the generous support of our sponsors. We deeply appreciate you!
