A Message from the Executive Director

Greetings everyone, 

We are currently facing challenging times with the new administration. As a Native organization, we draw strength and resilience from the legacy of our ancestors as we navigate the changes occurring in our country. 

It is disheartening to hear about potential funding cuts and the impact they may have on our clinic. We want to assure you that the mission of DIHFS remains strong, and we are committed to providing services to our relatives. 
As we seek ways to sustain our clinic considering these threats, our goal is to ensure that there is no impact on the services our relatives receive at DIHFS. 
We encourage our families to utilize their insurance at our clinic. Doing so will help us continue to provide the quality of care that our loved one deserve, ensuring that we remain financially stable. 
Let us address the importance of insurance coverage. Many of our relatives face difficulties affording services outside our clinic. Referrals to specialists, screenings, mammograms, colonoscopies, emergency services, and other essential care can create overwhelming financial burdens. 
We sincerely wish we could alleviate some of these challenges, but we currently lack the necessary resources. Having insurance can help reduce these barriers and open doors to the care our relatives truly need. Our enrollment specialists are onsite to help our relatives with the coverage they need. 
Another way to sustain our clinic is through charitable giving. You can support us by donating on our Colorado Gives page. Charitable contributions allow us to adapt to changes in funding and quickly respond to emergencies, such as the pandemic and current funding concerns. Your donation is also tax-deductible. 

Together, we can ensure that our relatives receive the care and support they need and deserve. We are not alone on this journey; we are here to help our relatives thrive in their healthcare journey. 

Adrianne Maddux,
​DIHFS Executive Director
