Social Determinants of Health

Helping To Build a More Equitable, Healthier Colorado
Published: May 13, 2021 | Updated: August 11, 2022

Our health is affected by so much more than what happens in the doctor’s office.

A complex web of factors, including economic status, access to food, housing, employment, environment, child care, and education, shapes the health of individuals and communities. We bring our analytic, place-based approach to examining the policies, practices, and trends affecting these social factors. We work with partners across the state to identify disparities and challenges that need to be addressed and to develop strategies and approaches that are helping to build a more equitable, healthier Colorado.

What We Can Do

  • Policy analysis
  • Needs assessments
  • Strategic planning
