Our Work

Colorado’s local public health agencies must keep pace with emerging technologies in ways that improve access to and use of data to address unexpected health challenges. 

We explored data-collection practices for sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability status at local public health agencies. 

We explored the growing connection between climate hazards, homeowners insurance, and health — and how Colorado can reduce risk for its communities and the insurance market. 

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. 

In 2024, CHI demonstrated how we use evidence and analysis in smart, sensitive ways to lift the voices of communities that are often overlooked. 

With Congress discussing major cuts to Medicaid, CHI looked to the Colorado Health Access Survey to gauge the potential impact of Medicaid cuts on Coloradans. 

 The Colorado Health Institutes supports the Primary Care Payment Reform Collaborative's work to develop recommendations to increase investments in high-quality primary care.
