Project Angel Heart was founded more than 30 years ago and today addresses a major challenge for Coloradans who are severely ill — getting the nutrition they need to get stronger, heal, and remain at home. Many are too sick to get to the grocery store and unable to cook for themselves. Others find they must choose whether to buy food or medication to make ends meet. That is why Project Angel Heart prepares and delivers medically tailored meals to people living with severe illnesses. Each week, a staff of professional chefs and registered dietitians prepare thousands of delicious meals from scratch, and tailor them to meet the specific medical and dietary needs of those who are ill. Volunteers then help package and deliver each meal at no cost to clients. Project Angel Heart’s meal recipients report better health, less stress, and more energy because of this work. Recipients are better able to afford their health care and adhere to their prescribed health care regimen. And it’s easier for them to live independently in their homes. Groundbreaking research also shows that many Project Angel Heart meal recipients have lower health care costs and hospital readmission rates.

"This is an exciting time to join Project Angel Heart as the President & Chief Executive Officer. With a strong and committed Board of Directors and a passionate staff, this is an opportunity to join an organization that during the past three years has increased more than 85 percent the number of medically tailored meals we have prepared and delivered to severely ill Coloradans. We are seeking a growth-minded leader, with a proven track record in fundraising, operational acumen, and leading, managing, and inspiring a diverse team. Our culture is unique and one that we cherish. It’s a part of our DNA and our success and we look forward to meeting candidate that want to be an integral part of fostering and nurturing that culture for success." — Heather Miller, Chair
