Put on the coffee and tune in for the latest in health policy from your friends at the Colorado Health Institute.
Eggheads, our monthly webinar series, serves up recent CHI research at 8 a.m. the third Thursday of every month. We invite you to join us. Come with questions for our analysts, or just watch as we unscramble a hash of health policy.
Our mission at CHI is to improve the health of all Coloradans through independent research, analysis, and insight that support sound policies and decisions. We aim to make our research broadly accessible and useful, and the Eggheads webinar series is one more way for us to participate in efforts to improve the health of Coloradans.
Join us in January 2023 for the next Eggheads webinar
And December 9 for Hot Issues in Health
CHI will host our next Eggheads webinar in January. In the meantime, we hope you'll join us in-person or online for our Hot Issues in Health conference, Friday, December 9, 2022. Thanks to the generous support of the Colorado Health Foundation, we are offering free registration for online-only attendance and several enhanced options for online attendees to make the conference more accessible and engaging. Online attendees will have access to closed captioning and Spanish interpretation.
