In preparation for running my first marathon, I decided to invest in a new pair of running shoes. It was important to me to make sure they were a quality investment, so I gathered as much information as possible.
Community Engagement
The best health care system is the one designed by and for the people who use it. Read more about how we're empowering Coloradans to advocate for themselves.

We tackle a lot of complex problems, but none as challenging as health equity. Our systems of power grant privilege and access unequally, meaning some Coloradans benefit while others are harmed.
