We provide well-informed data and perspectives on Colorado’s health care system.As thought leaders working in communities and at the Capitol, we share information about what’s working in our health system and what’s not. As we lead the public dialogue, we hope to offer a big-picture view of the health care system and to help Colorado find common ground.

State and local laws are testing grounds for federal policy. Your vote decides how much tax you’ll pay for gas or the property you own.
There is a lot of work ahead to address the anti-Blackness within all of us. Anti-Blackness runs deep. Deeper than racism.
We are cultivating community. Even in the isolation of physical distancing, we are learning how community sustains us and gives us strength beyond ourselves. Figurative ham bones are flying all over the place, and our connections and relationships are expanding and maturing.
