We are thrilled to share the exciting news of two new additions to LiveWell Colorado’s board of directors: Jim García and Barbara Grogan.

Both García and Grogan are prominent members of the community who will bring a unique and valuable perspective to the table, as well as a wealth of experience, knowledge and expertise. We are incredibly fortunate to have them by our side as we move forward in our mission to inspire and advance policy, environmental and lifestyle changes that promote health through the prevention and reduction of obesity.

García received his undergraduate degree from Regis University and his Master of Public Administration degree from the University of Colorado at Denver. He is recognized as an expert in developing high level collaborative partnerships with a broad spectrum of community and governmental organizations for the purpose of addressing health disparities. In 1994, García founded Clínica Tepeyac, a community-based health center that provides primary care and behavioral health services and health education to Metro Denver’s medically underserved, predominantly Latino population. In January of 2011, he was appointed as the organization’s executive director.
