WomenGive, a program of United Way of Larimer County, was started in Larimer County in 2006 as an opportunity for women in our community to come together to help other women.

The name of the practice in Loveland has changed to Banner Health Clinic. The doctors own the building at 295 E. 29th St. in the Orchards Shopping Center in Loveland, and Banner Medical Group will lease clinic space from them, said Toni Eberhardt, public relations director for the Banner Medical Group.

First-Care, founded in 1980, will move staff at its Fort Collins clinic at 2160 West Drake Road to the Banner Health Center at 702-A West Drake Road. Eberhardt said Banner will pay First-Care’s lease at 2160 West Drake until it expires.

Eberhardt said the First-Care doctors will have the opportunity to collaborate with 1,300 physicians working in 65 specialty areas who are in the network that spans six states.

“A key benefit for smaller practices joining the group is that they will have access to new technology and training without having to make the financial investment. Banner takes care of that,” Eberhardt said.

First-Care’s physicians were not available for comment Wednesday.
