We embrace this quote as we look forward to an evening of celebration reflecting on our past and cultivating a future of good health for Northern Colorado.
“Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives – choice, not chance, determines your destiny.” — Aristotle
