Kaiser Permanente combines health care and coverage in one connected system to maximize employee health and minimize employer costs.

Longmont Climbing Collective has plans to outfit 15,000 square feet of space with bouldering and fitness facilities, as well as space for other training equipment, yoga and additional fitness classes. There are plans to open the space to the community as a place that can host meetups and social gatherings. The hope is to also grow the community by offering guided courses, outdoor education and bouldering instruction and to promote diversity in the community by offering services in English and Spanish.

In March, Brewmented, a brewery and brewing-supply store, and Redline Athletics, a sports-training center, each received $7,000 grants through the program.
