The women of FUMC congratulate JoAn Hopkins, national award recipient of the Eli Lilly and Company Welcome Back Award for Primary Health Care. She is being so honored for her work in mental health care, specifically for her efforts in helping to fight depression. She is receiving $10,000 that she can donate to the charities of her choice. We are honored that she has chosen FUMC as one of her charities. She will also contribute to the Larimer Center for Mental Health, the American Red Cross Centennial Chapter, and Coloradans for Chernobyl.
JoAn does so much work, not only in her professional life, but also in her church and community. We are so pleased that JoAn moves her ministry beyond the doors of the church. She is involved with the Interfaith Council here in Fort Collins, and she has been on and continues to be part of mission trips with the UMC. She recently took part in a tour of the Holy Land with Bishop Warner Brown and others from the Rocky Mountain Conference.
When you see JoAn congratulate her on her work in the mental health field. And thank her for her kindness in designating our church to receive some of the award's funds. And thank her for always going beyond the walls of the church, for being a true leader in the church, for opening her heart, her mind, and her (our) doors to a world in need.
Congratulations, JoAn!

Congrats JoAn. We don't know each other, but it's FCFUMC members like you that convinced me to join our church. I have family members who suffer with depression and I know how devastating and heartbreaking it can be. Thank you so much for your work and dedication. God Bless Lynn Schwebach
