Regional Health Connectors
Our two Regional Health Connectors, connect and develop resources within each region as they work with various coalitions to improve coordination of care.
Our Vision
Connected systems will lead to healthier lives for all Coloradans.
Core Values
Health is local. Health starts in the neighborhoods where we live, learn, work, and play, and sustainable solutions must honor local diversity.
Coordination leads to better health. Connected, comprehensive care will leverage available resources to keep Coloradans healthy.
Primary care builds trust. the unique relationship between a primary care practice and a patient can uncover opportunities for connections to comprehensive services.
Action must be based on evidence. Local data and experience paired with scientific studies can help us achieve better health outcomes faster.
Health is determined by more than health care alone. Many factors, such as transportation, nutrition, education, influence our health outside of the doctor's office.
There is more to learn. Innovative approaches to complex challenges will improve the future of health and health care.
