Access to Care
Coloradans should be able to get the health care they need, when they need it. Read more about how we're working to make this vision a reality.
The Urgent Call for Primary Care
I’ve been reflecting on the mixed messages we’re sending patients about where and how they should access health care. The message we’re sending is that urgent and emergency care is faster, more convenient, and higher quality than primary care.

It’s been quite a year. As we enter 2018, we will keep fighting health disparities and ensuring all Coloradans have the opportunity to live a healthy life.
