Dear Friend of Mountain Family,
We have heroes here at Mountain Family Health Centers. They are our family of dedicated staff who are the heartbeat of our organization. Our staff are committed to the health of all persons in our community.
In this new series, The Pulse, Stories from the Heart, we will share stories of our healthcare heroes and the patients they care for, to show how our organization is achieving our important mission.
At Mountain Family Health Centers, we improve the health of our community by providing equitable and affordable medical, behavioral, and dental healthcare for all. We firmly believe that healthcare is a human right. We work hard to ensure access and affordability to this care and medications for all our community’s residents, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay.
Dr. Gail Mizner, MD, FACP, AAHIVM, is the embodiment of our mission. We could not be prouder to have her as a mentor and advisor to our staff. Dr. Mizner has been chosen by the State of Colorado to chair the Prescription Drug Affordability Board. This board is working to reduce the prices of prescription drugs in Colorado. She is the first example we wish to share of how our staff supports our goals, which in turn, supports you, your health, and our community.
In her Own Words "I love the mission of Mountain Family to provide high-quality care to people who might not have access to affordable care in any other setting. I love the fact that I can really practice at the top of my license at MFHC. I can take care of patients with very serious, life-impacting and, sometimes, life-threatening diseases and make sure they get the tests and treatment they need despite barriers such as lack of insurance and access to subspecialists."
