The east entry to Regis University may qualify as one of the weirdest college entrances in the country. Here, at the corner of 51st Avenue and Federal Boulevard, a McDonald’s, a Pizza Hut, and a Taco Bell guard the pothole-studded road in a bizarre high-fat-meets-hallowed-halls juxtaposition—one that’s also indicative of the area’s status as a fresh-food and health-care desert. That’s not hyperbole: The neighborhood is a federal Health Professional Shortage Area and “food desert,” meaning many of its residents lack convenient access to primary-care options or grocery stores. But not for much longer. Thanks to a nearly $1 million grant from the Colorado Health Foundation, last year Regis launched Cultivate Health, a kind of master-planned community for healthy living. This spring, it debuts pilot programs designed to combat Federal’s fast-food army with sentinels of its own.
