I will be leaving CHI on July 15 to become Executive Director of Partners for Children’s Mental Health, a collaboration between Children’s Hospital Colorado and the University of Colorado School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry.
CHI is driving policy changes that will help Colorado communities become more resilient to climate change and improve health equity for those most profoundly affected.
The world has changed rapidly in the past few years, and the Colorado Health Institute is changing our approach so we can more directly address the critical issues that will advance health equity in Colorado. For 20 years, CHI has worked to advance its mission of improving health for all people in our state. Today, we are zeroing in on three challenges we must address to continue fulfilling that mission — climate change, behavioral health, and integrating our systems of care.
Climate change can seem like a problem so big and broad that everyone is at equal risk. Increased drought, higher temperatures, extreme weather, and other impacts of a changing climate in Colorado will surely affect the lives of everyone who lives here.
