May 8, 2024 — The Colorado AAPI Circle, in partnership with the Colorado Health Institute, on Wednesday released the findings of a groundbreaking new report that highlights Colorado’s Asian American and Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community. 

A KUNC report on climate change in northeastern Colorado quoted Colorado Health Institute Director Karam Ahmad and cited data from Colorado's Climate Preparedness Roadmap. The article explores how how Colorado communities are preparing for and responding to climate change.

"Cities and counties in that region don't really have climate related plans, or strong commitments to climate adaptation,” Ahmad said.

Nearly one in six Colorado adults (about 514,000 people) who sought health services in the past year experienced dismissive care, according to findings from the 2023 Colorado’s Health Access Survey (CHAS). For the first time, the survey asked respondents about whether they felt their medical providers dismissed their health concerns. The findings provide a critical window into an important health care issue and reveal opportunities for improvement.

Colorado Public Radio cited data from the 2023 Colorado Health Access Survey in a February 19 article about the far-reaching impacts of long COVID in Colorado.

The Denver Post reported on findings from the 2023 Colorado Health Access Survey in an article that focused on social factors, including food access and housing stability.
