We know that to improve wellness, we need to bring resources to where people need us most.

MIRA – Mobile Intercultural Resource Alliance

MIRA delivers resources and services directly to neighborhoods, community sites and workplaces throughout Eagle County.

When it comes to promoting wellness for the people who live and work in Eagle County, MIRA is about taking down barriers, making people feel welcome, providing education about available resources and helping those we serve navigate it all. The MIRA bus is a one-stop integrated and culturally relevant way to connect people to basic health education and screenings, support in applying to public assistance programs, food resources, workforce development, coordination with childhood programming and more. MIRA is relevant and trusted, as resources and services available on MIRA change based on community needs and priorities.

“Through the MIRA Bus, we connect individuals with health and wellness resources. We understand how hard it is to make ends meet when you live in our beautiful valley. Some families have two or three jobs and they are trying to also find time to spend with their children and schoolwork. When you add in other issues like a lack of transportation and language differences, they simply feel there are too many barriers to going to the doctor or prioritizing their health. MIRA helps create a caring, trusted network that comes together for them – and brings services to them – as it builds hope, trust, and wellness for all.” – Melina Valsecia, Eagle Valley Community Foundation Executive Director

MIRA’s resources and services are provided by a wide variety of local community organizations to achieve these goals:

  • Strengthening families focusing on strengths and aspirations by encouraging active participation and increasing the self-sufficiency of community members.
  • Build a sense of belonging in underserved individuals living in Eagle Valley by increasing or improving relationships between community members and community organizations.
  • Creating opportunities for community involvement in defining and addressing service needs and facilitating connection with organizations with emphasis in linking people with medical and dental homes.
  • Promote cultural and linguistic competence that reflect the community served.

Volunteer

  • “La comunidad confía realmente en las personas que trabajan y son voluntarias en el autobús MIRA y sabe que van a recibir una buena atención. Podemos llevar algunos de los servicios que se ofrecen en clínicas y hospitales a la comunidad, a los hogares de personas que de otro modo no podrían acceder a la atención. La mayoría de los pacientes que vemos no tienen seguro, por lo que ayudarles a navegar por el sistema y ofrecerles exámenes médicos básicos es fundamental para su salud y bienestar.” – Kyler, Enfermera Practicante

  • Eagle Valley Community Foundation es un equipo de personas apasionadas dedicadas a establecer relaciones de confianza con los miembros de la comunidad a los que servimos. MIRA y The Community Market invitan a la comunidad a espacios seguros donde todos son bienvenidos. A través de nuestros programas las personas pueden acceder a recursos para obtener bienestar y vivir
    una vida más sana”. – Dariza Martinez, Directora del Programa MIRA
