Ray Beasock – Denver, Colorado … When AdventHealth University Denver opened its relocated and expanded 16,000 square-foot site, in September in Greenwood Village, Colorado, it came with a slew of state-of-the-art equipment.
So, what happened to the equipment that was no longer needed in its previous location? It was donated, of course.
AdventHealth University Denver gifted items, such as televisions, carts, and projector screens, to seven Adventist schools across Colorado and Wyoming.
“We are grateful for the support we receive from our community and want to share that love,” said Katie Shaw, chief operating officer for AdventHealth University Denver. “Relocating gave us the opportunity to donate furniture and equipment we no longer needed, allowing us to extend goodwill to local organizations and institutions. It’s incredibly rewarding seeing these items being put to meaningful use again.”
According to Tyler Rettler, the information technology director for the Rocky Mountain Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, the donations were handed out six schools in Colorado including Vista Ridge Academy in Erie, HMS Richards Adventist School in Loveland, Campion Academy in Loveland, Mile High Academy in Highlands Ranch, Fort Collins Christian School in Fort Collins, Lighthouse Seventh-day Adventist Christian School in Fort Morgan, and Mountain Road Christian Academy in Casper, Wyoming.
