Collins’ vision for North Range comes from her favorite quote, “We rise by lifting others.” by Robert Ingersoll. “North Range has a culture of resilience; a wonderful ability to respond positively to change. I am honored and humbled to be chosen to lead this organization; and I am confident that we are ready for our next chapter.” says Collins. Setting her sights on exploring ways that broaden and tailor current services to community need, Collins looks forward to collaborating with partners, incorporating fresh perspectives and approaches while learning and working together. Internally, her focus is on nurturing a solutions-focused culture at North Range which will create the positive, optimistic energy that is needed to tackle what is ahead. Collins will continue to represent North Range in a manner that aligns with the mission, vision, and strategic goals.
Prior to joining the North Range team, Collins was the Director of Clinical Programs at Diversus Health (formerly Aspen Pointe) and the Regional Operations Director at Centennial Mental Health. Larry Pottorff, retired CEO, is confident in handing the reigns of the agency over to Collins. “I’m confident in Kim’s ability to lead North Range at this critically important
time in our history, bringing her experience, skill, and passion to the job.” says Pottorff. “Kim has exactly what it takes to help sustain North Range’s legacy of providing the best care where, how, and when people need it. Dynamic, collaborative, and
creative, she will balance competing needs well, always with our clients foremost in her heart and mind. We all look forward to seeing Kim in her new role.”
