We envision a Colorado where everyone has the opportunity to be healthy and live in a healthy environment.

Welcome to Trailhead Institute. Since our founding in 1993, we have moved with a mission to advance innovation and collaboration in public and environmental health.

Here, we strive to be the inspirational basecamp in Colorado’s public health field — a gathering place where new pathways and possibilities in public health can take root, grow and even flourish.

Our work is driven by a shared commitment to collaboration, justice, and building the capacity of communities to address the challenges they face. Through partnership, we work alongside communities and with state and local governmental agencies, community-based organizations, partners across public and private sectors, and funders to improve health for all people living in Colorado.

This is where all of us — together — as relentless advocates of the possible, forge positive change where health begins: the places where we live, work, learn, and play.
