Colorado resident Darwin Horan serves as the CEO of Ventana
Capital and has worked in the development industry for over 20 years.
With thousands of acres and square feet of land and office spaces as
well as 17 subdivisions in the works, Ventana's portfolio is one of the
largest in the state. Darwin Horan makes use of his successes as an
executive in real estate to give back to his community, contributing to
schools and nonprofit organizations like the Special Olympics.
The
Special Olympics were founded in 1968 after decades of advocacy on
behalf of people with disabilities. Since that time, the organization
has helped those with learning and developmental disabilities grow in
their confidence, fitness, and friendships. The Special Olympics
emphasizes making health service provisions accessible to the
underserved and underprivileged, and its Healthy Athletes program helps
fulfill this mission by providing free health exams for its athletes
around the world.
Within the last few years, the Healthy
Athletes program has expanded its services with the Healthy Communities
initiative. This addition increased the number of the program's
available health clinics, broadened its range of care, and increased the
number of people it serves. The initiative ensures health education for
athletes as well as their families and coaches. Free health screenings
before and after Olympic events are offered, and there are numerous
accounts of athletes having their lives bettered after their exams
caught illnesses early or discovered ailments that were treatable. With
screenings offered in seven different areas of specialization, including
vision care, dentistry, and podiatry, the organization's medical team
can meet each athlete's individual needs.
