Information: The Women’s Resource Center is dedicated to increasing access to health and dental care for people in Larimer County who are low-income, or lack adequate health insurance. WRC provides health outreach and education, connection to low-cost services, and patient navigation. We are a grassroots non-profit organization contributing to the well-being of people in Larimer County since 1975.

The Women’s Resource Center serves women who have been identified by the Centers for Disease Control and the Colorado Cancer Plan as being at-risk for cancer and other diseases due to financial and access barriers. These barriers lead to unnecessary sickness and even death in some cases. Their vision is to provide Larimer County residents the confidence and tools to take responsibility for their health issues and be an active participant in their own health:

For Women:
• Accurate knowledge to manage their own health and wellness
• The ability to obtain affordable, quality health care
For Men & Women
• Connections to affordable dental care

High Park Fire at 10:30pm last night...
    This was the view from Bob Cat Ridge Natural Area looking north at about 10:30pm on 6/12/2012. This was taken with a 140mm lens at ISO 6400 with a 20 second exposure. And yes I know it's illegal to be in there after dark...

Northernmost Point In Europe
    On a cruise to the North Cape and Fjords of Norway, I stood at the North Cape, the northernmost point in Europe which is above the Arctic Circle. It was rainy and cold and we learned later that the wind was 56 mph. At times I could not walk forward, the wind was so strong.

High Park Fire smoke over the Devil's Backbone
    This may be the 2nd shot of this picture I've sent? Our computer runs off a satelite dish & the smoke from the fire is distorting our signal. This is a picture of the sun coming up over the backbone. The Highland Fire smoke is giving everything a surreal look.
