Profile:

The Health District of Northern Larimer County has been meeting local healthcare needs in northern Larimer County since 1960. Today, we provide prescription assistance, mental health, dental, preventive and health planning services to our community.
The district encompasses the northern two-thirds of Larimer County and includes the cities of Fort Collins, LaPorte, Timnath, Wellington, Livermore and Red Feather Lakes.
The Health District is a special tax district—like a school, fire or sanitation district—that was created by voters in 1960 to serve the health needs of our community. The Health District is supported by local property tax dollars and is governed by a publicly elected five-member board.


Services
The Health District provides prescription assistance, mental health, dental, preventive and health planning services. Services are determined by a strategic plan adopted annually by the Health District board of directors.

History
The Health District was established in 1960 as the Poudre Valley Hospital District. From 1960 to 1994, it owned and operated Poudre Valley Hospital (PVH). In response to changing healthcare needs, the District created a locally controlled private, not-for-profit organization in 1994 to take over the day-to-day management of the hospital under a lease agreement.
