BACKGROUND
When the nonprofit PSL Health Care Corporation was sold to a for-profit organization in 1985, the proceeds of the sale were used to create a foundation dedicated exclusively to the health of the people of Colorado. Since that time, The Colorado Trust has worked closely with nonprofit organizations in every county across the state to improve health and well-being. To build on these efforts and address growing needs to expand health coverage and care within Colorado, The Trust committed to a new 10-year goal at the close of 2007 to achieve access to health for all Coloradans by 2018.
