Mike Bloom Community Service Scholarship Fund

This fund honors Mike Bloom’s life-long dedication to helping those in need while celebrating his commitment to health care, education, and growth.

​

Mike Bloom was a tireless, dedicated, and visionary founder of community health in Colorado.  He began Valley-Wide Health Services (now called Valley-Wide Health Systems) in Alamosa in the early 1980s; contributed to the birth of Colorado Community Health Network (CCHN), Colorado Community Managed Care Network (CCMCN), and Colorado Access in the 1990s; and led Sunrise Community Health through rebuilding and tumultuous times from 1996 – 2006.

​

Mike was also a founding father of the North Colorado Health Alliance in 2002 and its Chief Executive Officer from 2006 – 2012, leading the way toward integrated, collaborative partnerships and health care delivery.

​

Most recently, he was a visionary founder and board member of the newly formed Colorado HealthOp.  Mike served on countless boards and in many, many ways to improve the lives of the least fortunate among us, including serving many years in the newly formed Peace Corps in South and Central America.
