Preferred Employer Program

At Garrett North Powers, we’re proud to honor the dedicated individuals who make Colorado Springs a safer, stronger, and more connected community. Our Hometown Heroes Program was created to recognize those who serve with courage, compassion, and commitment—both at home and across the nation.

This special program extends to our local heroes, including:

- Police Department
- Fire Department
- EMS
- School Teachers
- Military

We are grateful for your service and the positive impact you make every day. The team at Garrett North Powers is proud to welcome our Hometown Heroes home to a community that truly appreciates all you do.

UCHealth Memorial Hospital North on Briargate Parkway serves the north side of Colorado Springs with emergency, inpatient, surgical, and specialty care, working in partnership with Memorial Hospital Central downtown. Memorial has been part of the UCHealth system since 2012, and its roots in the Pikes Peak region stretch back more than a century. The hospital employs physicians, nurses, technicians, and support professionals across a wide range of clinical and administrative roles, making it one of the area’s most important healthcare employers.

Our program welcomes the service members, civilians, and contractors of Peterson Space Force Base, an easy commute straight down Powers Boulevard. Formerly Peterson Air Force Base, the installation was renamed in 2021 to reflect its central role in the U.S. Space Force. Today it is home to Space Base Delta 1, North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), and U.S. Northern Command headquarters, and it shares its airfield with the Colorado Springs Airport — anchoring the region’s defense and aerospace workforce.

We’re proud to welcome the team at Colorado Springs Airport (COS), just a short drive down Powers Boulevard. Owned and operated by the City of Colorado Springs, COS is Southern Colorado’s primary commercial airport, connecting travelers throughout the Pikes Peak region to destinations across the country. Its workforce spans airfield operations, maintenance, public safety, customer service, and administration, working alongside the airline, rental car, concessions, and security professionals who keep the terminal running every day. For the people who help our region take flight, Garrett North Powers offers a convenient place to land at home.

Known as the Mountain Post, Fort Carson is home to the 4th Infantry Division and a wide range of tenant units on the south side of Colorado Springs. The installation is one of the largest employers in the Pikes Peak region, supporting soldiers, military families, Department of the Army civilians, and contractors across operations, logistics, medical, and garrison support roles. We’re proud to offer a comfortable, convenient place to come home to for the people who serve at the Mountain Post.

Founded in 1878, the YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region is one of Southern Colorado’s oldest and most trusted nonprofit organizations. With Y Family Centers across Colorado Springs, Fountain, and Monument, dozens of before- and after-school sites, and a year-round resident camp, the Y is also the largest childcare provider in the region. Its staff of coaches, educators, childcare professionals, aquatics staff, and wellness instructors help strengthen families and neighborhoods every day.

Our program proudly extends to teachers and school staff throughout the Colorado Springs area, including educators with Colorado Springs School District 11, School District 49, and Academy District 20 — three of the largest districts in the Pikes Peak region, all within easy reach of the Powers Corridor. From the classroom to the front office, the educators, paraprofessionals, and support staff who shape the next generation are a vital part of our community, and we’re honored to welcome them home.
