Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is to extend the healing ministry of Christ. It describes its approach as “wholistic” care across a connected continuum of services.
The AdventHealth Porter 2025–2027 Community Health Plan lists drug and alcohol use, health care access and quality, and food security as priorities. Its 2022 community health needs assessment identified substance use, mental health, and food security as priorities, with health equity integrated across them.
Examples of organizations supported in 2024 illustrate the range of grantee work. Clinica Campesina Family Health Services says it provides medical, dental, and behavioral health care for low-income and underserved people. Doctors Care says it provides affordable health care for low-income people. Community Food Share says it works to eliminate hunger in Boulder and Broomfield counties, while GoFarm says it supports local farmers and equitable access to Colorado-grown food.
