2013 was a momentous year of change and preparation for the expansion of coverage through the Affordable Care Act and implementation of local health reforms to improve Colorado’s health care system.
Our Publications
We provide well-informed data and perspectives on Colorado’s health care system.
Our publications are developed based on comprehensive quantitative and qualitative research and information gathering when we visit our neighbors around the state. This ensures that those entrusted with making decisions on behalf of us all are more aligned with the real needs and priorities of Coloradans.2014 Progress & Possibilities
2013 was a year of tumultuous change in the health care system and much more is on the way. Colorado’s health alliances are poised to lead our state toward stronger and more inclusive health care systems.
Health Perspectives: American Indians
As Colorado strives to be the healthiest state in the nation, we must ensure that the unique experiences of Colorado’s American Indians are accounted for and that the health care needs of all Coloradans are met.
Art of Health Care: Video
“The Art of Health Care” is a powerful video that demonstrates social determinants in the clinical setting and provides strategies from Colorado providers to address patient needs.
Health Perspectives: Women
Hispanics and Latinos are the largest ethnic group in Colorado, and face increased barriers to good health. We must address the underlying social factors to ensure all Coloradans have the opportunity to live a healthy life.
Health Perspectives: Hispanics & Latinos
Hispanics and Latinos are the largest ethnic group in Colorado, and face increased barriers to good health. We must address the underlying social factors to ensure all Coloradans have the opportunity to live a healthy life.
Health Perspectives: Adolescents
Health insurance is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. While Colorado’s adolescents are generally in good health now, we must work to protect their future by getting them enrolled in coverage–much of which is already available.
Health Perspectives: Denver
Despite having a more robust health care system than most of Colorado enjoys, many Denver residents are still in poor health. Together, we must work to understand and address the issues that are keeping residents from accessing care.
Health Perspectives: LGBTQ Coloradans
Social and cultural factors affect the ability of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Coloradans to get and stay healthy. We must work to ensure all Coloradans have the ability to access the care they need, when they need it.
Health Perspectives: Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders
Limited data is available on the unique health experiences of Colorado’s Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. As their population grows, we must work to understand their diverse backgrounds and provide for their health needs.
