We Lead Programs that Address Unmet Public Health Needs in Colorado

We make Colorado’s public health system stronger by developing and implementing programs that fill workforce gaps and address unmet community health needs. Across our programs, we work with community partners, state agencies, and public health organizations throughout Colorado to share resources and information, increase collaboration, and help public health initiatives succeed.

We Hold Unique Skills, Knowledge, and Passion Across Our Programs.
