Glacia Peck was selected as the new director of the Family Health West Foundation in Fruita.

“My hope is to spark motivation for partners, donors and volunteers by reigniting a shared vision for the future — creating the kind of care we all want for our loved ones and inspiring the future of health care in the Grand Valley,” Peck said.

A separate, nonprofit organization, the foundation raises funding for Family Health West hospital and clinics and purchases that improve services, patient care and the workplace.

Dr. Korrey Klein, chief executive officer of Family Health West, praised the selection. “Glacia brings a wealth of nonprofit experience to our foundation. She has worked with volunteer boards and committees as well as with shoestring budgets and planned fund-raisers to pay for things that budgets could not meet. In short, her vast experience fits perfectly with the needs of the FHW Foundation.”

Peck brings to her new duties more than a dozen years of experience working with the Lutheran Church and School of Messiah in Grand Junction. She’s also supported Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Grand Junction High School choir and theater programs and Grand Mesa Little League. She’s a member of the Dyslexia Foundation of Western Colorado board.
