In Colorado, 1 in 3 women, 1 in 3 men and 1 in 2 transgender individuals will experience an attempted or completed sexual assault in their lifetime. During April, we recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month with the hopes of increasing conversations about this very important issue.

“Our success truly stems from the commitment to excellence of our physician owners and talented staff, and channeling that excellence to do what is best for patient care.”

Luzinski has more than 30 years of experience in health care. He is clinically trained as a registered nurse and served many years at Poudre Valley Hospital, both as director of outpatient clinics (1998-2002) and chief nursing officer (2003-2011).

Luzinski is currently chief nursing officer and chief operations officer of Longmont United Hospital.

“I am honored and excited to join to Associates in Family Medicine,” Luzinski said. “Living in Northern Colorado for over 29 years, I value and respect the patient- centered care that AFM provides for the community. I look forward to continuing the legacy.”

“Luzinski’s extensive administrative experience and professionalism will serve AFM well as we continue to expand our patient-centered medical services and foster important partnerships in the region to better care for our patients,” Sprowell said.
