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

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

Who We Are

Our role within the public health system is to serve as a strategic partner for building coordinated, community-informed solutions to public health needs through our knowledge and relationships across the  public health system.

Who We Support

As a public health institute, we support organizations who work in direct service to communities.

Over the last 30 years, we’ve developed trusted relationships with community-based organizations, individuals addressing local health priorities across Colorado, local public health organizations, state and federal governmental agencies, academic institutions, philanthropic leaders, and others working across the public health system.

Our North Star Goals

Across our diverse portfolio of programs, our work focuses on two North Star goals. Together, we work to ensure that:

There is a critical mass of support across the field of public health for community-driven solutions.

Communities and organizations who work in direct service to communities have the sustained resources, autonomy, and capacity to lead programs that effectively address community needs.
