Whole County, Whole Person, Whole Life
The HRC exists to bring health and human service organizations together to network, collaborate, share the impact of our work, equitably distribute city and county funds to local nonprofits and advocate to strengthen the nonprofit infrastructure across the valley.
In the spring of 2024, the HRC engaged with Centrality Research to conduct a participatory planning process to determine the read map for the HRC for 2025-2028.
Centrality Research conducted interviews with key partners, members, civic leaders, government officials, and health and human service staff across the county about the needs of the health and human services sector and the aspirations for the HRC in its continued evolution.
This process reaffirmed that the HRC is a reputable coalition of organizations with the capability to organize, advocate, and align the realty and human services sector of Routt County to create lasting and systematic change to increase protective factors throughout all the county, for all residents, through all stages in life.
