On October 29, 2008, I had the distinct honor of being elected as the Vice Chair of the St. Anthony Health Foundation. I initially became involved with the St. Anthony Health Foundation through Flight For Life Colorado. Flight For Life began in 1972 with a single Alouette III helicopter, based at St. Anthony Central Hospital in Denver. It was the first hospital-based medical helicopter program in the U.S. From its humble beginnings, it has grown to be a regional program responding to nine states.

In addition to Flight For Life, the St. Anthony Health Foundation helps to fund several other health-related programs and services such as:

* Family Medicine Centers which cares for thousands of ethnically diverse and medically underserved residents each year
* The Yaffe Hospitality House, a no-charge “bed and breakfast” for out-of-town family members of hospitalized patients
* Injury Prevention/Helmet Promotion – have you seen the “brain bucket” stickers or taken advantage of a free helmet when renting skis from Christies?
* The Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Program provides trained, on-call nurse examiners to support and obtain forensic evidence from sexual assault victims.
* And many other very valuable community health programs
