Our Work
It’s National Public Health Week and here at the Colorado Health Institute we are celebrating with business as usual – helping to advance the health of all Coloradans by supporting health policy discussions with evidence-based analysis.
The annual long appropriations bill always has significant ramifications for health care in Colorado, and this year is no different.
At our Monday morning huddle, president and CEO Michele Lueck took a few moments to celebrate our accomplishments of the past few weeks – and to honor several team members who went “above and beyond” to make it all happen.
As more Coloradans sign up for health insurance and gain access to care, Colorado leaders are turning to the question of whether Colorado has an adequate primary care workforce. Because data that track provider trends are increasingly important to help inform the conversation, the Colorado Health Institute provides access to a wide range on its website.
With the introduction of the long appropriations bill in the House this week, legislators are in the thick of budget discussions. The bill heads to the Senate next week, where legislators will continue their debate over the proposed state budget package.
It’s a big week for data in Colorado. Three different sets of data were released this week, with each offering its own valuable insight into the health of our state.
After its long-awaited arrival, The 2013 Colorado Health Report Card has been released. The long-term vision has always been to make this report a useful policy tool, and there are several new features of this year’s report card that make that happen.
It’s finally here. The 2013 Colorado Health Report Card will be released Wednesday.
Getting more children walking or “wheeling” to school may be an important step to improve health. This question was discussed at the House Transportation and Energy Committee on Wednesday afternoon.
Colorado is chipping away at the number of uninsured children who are eligible for public health insurance through Medicaid or the Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) but aren’t enrolled.
