Hear From Our Community

I have been a community partner with Tri-Lakes Cares through Penrose-St. Francis Health for almost 10 years and have been impressed from the very start with the comprehensive services that TLC provides under one roof. As neighbors come through the door looking for help with food, they are greeted with a welcome smile and are offered so much more, including assistance with housing, utilities, transportation, medical, and other help.
