This week’s big news: The proposal to change the Hospital Provider Fee to an enterprise fund has passed the House. But its future depends on which Senate committee gets to hear it first. That will be determined by Senate President Bill Cadman (R), who has opposed converting the fee.
A new report from the Safe Routes to School National Partnership finds Colorado tied for fourth among the states for supporting walking, bicycling, active kids and active communities.
The team here at the Colorado Health Institute (CHI) is busy with work that we hope will contribute to a healthier world, starting with a new survey of health care providers.

Congratulations to Ethiopia’s Lemi Berhanu Hayle and Atsede Baysa for winning the elite men’s and women’s divisions of the Boston Marathon today. They each finished in less than 2 ½ hours. Talk about a fast clip. Inspired by all of the Boston Marathon runners, the Colorado Health Institute is keeping a fast pace in the office this week as well. We have presentations, reports and blogs galore.
We love the legislature, and we’re passionate about tracking health bills — but even we can admit that our weekly legislative blogs have become a bit verbose. Extended. Detailed.
They’re long.
