"Here's to Dad," Centura Health anesthesiologist Dr. Gregory Fauteux said this week as he received his second dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
Dr. Fauteux knows the devastation COVID-19 can cause; the virus took his father's life November 22. "One of the true tragedies is that there are over 350,000 people just like him - someone's father, someone's brother, someone's mother, someone's daughter, and we just need to take it seriously."
We're working day and night to get the vaccine to as many of you as possible and as quickly as possible in accordance with state guidelines for vaccine distribution. While this process plays out, it's essential that all of us continue to do the things we know stop the spread of this deadly virus: wear a face mask, social distance, practice good hand hygiene, and stay home when sick.
Thank you, Rocky Mountain PBS, for the story.

Doctor who lost his father to COVID-19 receives second dose of vaccine
It's an honor for us to share James' incredible artwork as part of our Healing Arts program at Parker Adventist Hospital, where James underwent emergency spine surgery after a terrible horseback riding accident nearly three years ago. Creating art can be a powerful healing tool for anyone - regardless of your artistic experience or perceived talent.
“I rediscovered the love of making art," James told FOX31 KDVR.com. "That’s where the painting journey began. To be at home, unable to go anywhere, it was a perfect outlet really for me. It was very important to my healing — mentally and emotionally. I can’t imagine what I would’ve done as an alternative, what I was physically capable of doing that would give me so much joy, just to create something, see a result, and be able to share that with other people.”

We know that the sooner Coloradans are vaccinated, the sooner this devastating pandemic can come to an end. We will send you an invitation to receive the vaccine based on your age, health risk factors and the tiering system established by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. No walk-in vaccination clinics are planned for the initial phases of vaccine distribution.
