The Collie Health Foundation’s mission is to fund research medical projects that will benefit the future health of the Collie, and to educate the public and Collie breeders about health issues.
So far the Foundation has given grants to the following areas of research: Bloat, Grey Collie, Epilepsy, Cancer, eye diseases (most notably PRA), Dermatomyositis and many other health related problems. The very important message of the Foundation is “funding research” and “education.”
This is a custom website design and development project that includes Membership management, Videos, Articles/Blog, and loads of Rebates. The design portion of the project includes a customized responsive framework that is designed to the specific needs of Collie Health Foundation’s content, services, and website representation. Clients, from across the country, have been trained to update this site.

I have known Joan Johnson for over twenty years. Working with Joan started on a personal level more years ago than I can remember. She created breath taking advertising for many of my top Collies over the years. She was able to do anything I needed from ads, banners, to stud cards. When the website era started, and the Collie Health Foundation needed a webmaster and designer for our website, the CHF Board had only one person in mind, Joan Johnson. I have been passionately involved with CHF since 1990 and I’ve held many offices and I’m currently serving as President. We needed not only a professional to work with, but someone who understood that we are a charitable foundation. As such, we have a fiduciary role in spending the least amount of money on our overhead so more money can go to research grants. Joan understood this and recently upgraded our website to make it more user friendly. Through the CHF “Store”, Joan has made it easy for people to join as members, donate “in memory of” or “in celebration of”, buy CHF merchandise and lastly by event tickets. One stop shopping has made our assets grow along with our outreach to our donors. I highly recommend Joan for any of your graphic needs.
