The work of improving the systems that influence health and well-being is complex. Whether it’s understanding where to start, ensuring that stakeholders are engaged, or determining next steps, CHI can help you at every point in the process.
We’re generalists with deep expertise and a knack for seeing the big picture and putting it into context. We can help you find and interpret the data to understand what is needed. We can create a plan for addressing that need, and we can help you evaluate your efforts. We can do it all, or we can dive in to support a specific part of your project.
Reasons to Choose CHI
Working with the Colorado Health Institute means you have a partner with the deep expertise and implementational know-how to advance health equity and well-being for all Coloradans. We simplify the complex, provide context, and help you advance equitable policies that make a difference.
We're Nimble. Our size and structure let us quickly respond to your needs. We’re big enough to provide your project with the analytical brainpower it needs, yet not so big that you get lost in the shuffle. You’ll be the priority for the CHI team on your project. And as a policy-focused organization, we understand that decision-makers need information quickly, and they have to act when information is imperfect. This kind of pressure and
ambiguity can be paralyzing, but we thrive on it.
We Know Colorado and the West. We’ve been doing this work for more than 20 years. We understand Medicaid, behavioral health, and health systems in Colorado, and we know the people who must be at the table to get things done. We’ve served Coloradans from Rangely to Rocky Ford and points between. We also have experience in other Mountain West states, and regularly engage with leading policymakers around the country.
Honest Work Toward Equity. We choose to do work that advances the cause of equity. As a policy-focused organization, we are committed to tearing down discriminatory structures and building up systems that put people first and promote health for all. We strive to make our work accessible to all, regardless of ability or language preference.
We Will Help You Shine. CHIers bring a positive, can-do spirit to their work. We approach our clients with empathy, seeking to understand their goals and the barriers in their way. Most importantly, the quality of our work will make your project shine. Our repeat customers over the years can attest to this.
