Health District board members serve staggered four-year terms and are elected at-large by Colorado voters who are district residents or who own — or whose spouse or civil union partner own — taxable real or personal property within the district.
District boundaries encompass the northern two-thirds of Larimer County and include Fort Collins, Timnath, Laporte, Bellvue, Wellington and Red Feather Lakes.
Elections are held every two years in odd-numbered years.
The Health District provides residents of northern Larimer County with dental, mental health, and preventive health services, in addition to connecting people to more affordable health insurance and prescription options.
