Stronger communities can help us to continue caring for ourselves, our families, and our neighbors. CHI is implementing a network of health care, public health, and community organizations in the metro area — building relationships and coordination to increase access to community-based programs known to prevent and manage chronic disease. Guest speakers from the state health department joined us to share the vision for these cross-sector partnerships in advancing health across Colorado.
In 2024, CHI demonstrated how we use evidence and analysis in smart, sensitive ways to lift the voices of communities that are often overlooked. In this annual report, you can read about three projects that illustrate how we provide trusted analysis and collaborative solutions to improve health.
