Our Work
The Colorado Health Institute is excited to welcome some new faces to our team, both on our governing body and in the office.
Magdalena Rutherford is a native Californian. She lives in Albany, and will start her second year at San Jose State University in the fall. She writes about her 10-day internship at the Colorado Health Institute.
What do an expert on the health insurance market at one of the world’s largest risk management firms, a pediatrician who is a devoted child health advocate, and a former journalist who now oversees strategic communications and brand management for a $2.5 billion health system have in common?
Summer has officially arrived – the season that brings us hot days, warm nights and more daylight for health policy analysis.
A million people. That’s almost one of every five people who live in Colorado. It’s enough to fill Sports Authority Field 13 times and Coors Field almost 20 times. It’s the combined populations of Denver and Aurora. And it’s the number of Coloradans who are now enrolled in Medicaid.
We’ll be heading to Fort Collins in September to present our latest research on health disparities at the annual Public Health in the Rockies Conference.
A Colorado Health Institute brief –When Insurance Is Not Enough: How Underinsurance Impacts Health and Finances - released today explains underinsurance and why it matters for Coloradans.
We continue to see a lot of interest in our annual Legislation in Review report, which we released last week. The report summarized the trends we saw in health legislation from the 2014 session.
Since the legislative session ended May 7, the Colorado Health Institute has been hard at work analyzing the key health policy trends of 2014.
Hospitals tend to be bellwethers of health care trends. So we applaud the Colorado Hospital Association for issuing a new analysis looking at hospital charges since January 1, when major provisions of the Affordable Care Act kicked in.
