Denver Health has appointed Sean VanBerschot as the new executive director of the Denver Health Foundation. This decision comes after VanBerschot served six months in an interim capacity and spent three years as the foundation’s associate executive director.
“Sean has shown exceptional leadership during a pivotal time for our foundation,” said Donna Lynne, Denver Health CEO. “He is a trusted voice as we elevate expectations for the foundation’s role within our health system and the community.”
VanBerschot’s official appointment follows the 2025 Thriving Denver Gala, where more than $1.5 million was raised to support various initiatives.
In his new role, VanBerschot will focus on implementing innovative strategies and increasing community engagement as the foundation approaches a significant year in 2025. Priorities include expanding donor involvement for the Westside Redevelopment Project and strengthening legacy giving programs.
Under his leadership, Denver Health expects to see continued growth in both community partnerships and philanthropic contributions. The foundation is also set to complete its multi-year $80 million Springboard for Solutions Campaign in the coming year.
