Last year, I had the honor of being appointed to Colorado’s Health Equity Commission (HEC) and have been bringing my community organizing background and social justice values to the government in this exciting way.
Health Equity
Health disparities are differences in health outcomes between groups of people. Read more about how we're working to eliminate these in Colorado.
Waiting for Health Equity in Action
As we approach the one-year anniversary of the release of our award-winning graphic novel, Waiting for Health Equity, I’ve been reflecting on all it’s accomplished in just one short year.
Finding Value in a Health Care Payment Model
By charging per service for health care, there is little incentive to address the root cause of a patient’s condition, or even to actually improve a patient’s health.
New Year, New Goals
We spent the better part of 2017 doing a deep dive into goal setting as part of our strategic planning. The result is our 2018-2020 Strategic Framework.
For the Love of Health Equity
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.
