Telluride Women Give
A Giving Circle of The Telluride Medical Center Foundation
Telluride Women Give is a philanthropic giving circle of the Telluride Medical Center Foundation. It is a leadership network of community-minded women who want to do more than just donate; they want to invest and collaborate to create specific programs that make a difference in the lives of women, children and families.
Telluride Women Give members take a deep dive into the health care issues affecting women and their families by creating solutions to improve their health and the well-being of the people they love. Using the power of collective philanthropy, the members pool their annual contributions and collaboratively fund programs, projects or new equipment for Telluride Regional Medical Center. The group’s efforts drive innovative and often life-saving services and technology that can really make a difference right here in Telluride.
Since 2015, Women Give has helped fund programs and technology to improve the health of the Telluride community, including:
- Help launch and expand Integrated Behavioral Health, from an early $10,000 investment to additional counseling staff and ongoing program support
- Support women’s reproductive healthcare, including contraception, STI testing and treatment, preventive services, and low- and no-cost care
- Pledge $50,000 toward the CT scanner campaign
- Fund a colposcopy machine for women’s diagnostic care
- Purchase a HandTevy pediatric emergency system
- Help fund a neonatal bed and infant warming cabinet

- Improve accessibility with a handicap-accessible entrance ramp
- Purchase an osteopathic manipulation table
- Support Basic Life Support in Obstetrics training for clinical staff
- Invest in clinical staff training and workforce development
- Help expand access to behavioral healthcare locally
- Help expand access to reproductive healthcare regardless of ability to pay
2026 will focus on funding for essential Primary Care Legacy & Innovation programs.

Jena Rissman Atlass, J.D.
A native of South Florida, Jena has been a part-time Telluride resident since 2008. She quickly fell in love with the town and its warm sense of community and has steadily increased her time and engagement with Telluride over the years. She has consistently supported the Telluride Fire Protection District and the Telluride Medical Center during her time in Telluride. Now with more time available, Jena can devote the time required to serve the community on the Board of TMCF.
Jena earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from Duke University and her Juris Doctorate from University of Florida College of Law. She began her 30-year legal career as a commercial litigator, managing litigation matters at trial and on appeal in the areas of real estate, construction defects, personal property tax, partnership and shareholder disputes, and other commercial contract disputes. She then served as in-house counsel for ADT Security Services, where she participated in dozens of mergers and acquisitions, the national dealer program, and property acquisitions and leasing. Jena then returned to private practice as a transactional lawyer, specializing in commercial real estate, including construction loans, complex purchases of commercial property, and corporate transactions. From 2005 through 2021, Jena proudly served as Vice President and General Counsel to Atlass Hardware Corp. (a company founded by her husband, Robert). During her tenure at Atlass Hardware Corp., Jena also owned a private alternative dispute resolution company and a law firm.
While Jena has volunteered and supported various organizations in the South Florida region, namely The Greater Miami Jewish Federation, Make-a-Wish Foundation and JAFCO, since retiring from the practice of law in 2022, she has been looking for an organization that fuels her passion for community involvement and aligns with her interest to better the community in which she lives. TMCF meets all these criteria, and she looks forward to devoting her time to the mission of the TMCF. Jena lives part-time in Telluride with her husband, Robert, and their dog, Wilson, where she enjoys skiing, hiking and mountain life.
