Better Health for All

First Western Financial, Inc. (MYFW.US) is a financial holding company offering wealth management, banking, and lending services.

Its core business activities, such as wealth management, deposit, loan, trust, wealth planning, and investment management, do not have a direct or significant positive or negative impact on health outcomes. While the company provides equipment financing for medical equipment, this is a financing service, not a health product or service itself, and the articles explicitly state they are not about the health outcomes of the equipment. The company's operations do not involve health-related products or services that would require specific disclosures, safety records, or accessibility considerations. Therefore, all KPIs related to health impact, harmful revenue, safety, pricing, vulnerable populations, risk transparency, health innovation, externalities, equity programs, workforce support, preventative measures, data responsibility, crisis response, mental health, pharmaceutical patents, nutrition, education, addiction mitigation, and clinical trial ethics are deemed not applicable or neutral based on the nature of its business and the absence of relevant evidence.

Its business model does not involve animal-derived products, animal husbandry, or direct impact on wildlife habitats, making the animal welfare KPIs not applicable to its operations.
