Advancing Health The Colorado Health Institute’s mission is to support efforts to make Colorado the healthiest state by providing nonpartisan and unbiased data, analysis and expertise. We assist leaders across the political spectrum. Our team of health policy veterans brings decades of experience analyzing and interpreting a broad range of complex health-related issues, focusing on health coverage and the uninsured, new models of care, the health care workforce, legislation and policy, community health and the safety net. Each January, the Colorado Health Institute – known as CHI – establishes a research agenda focused on the themes and trends of greatest urgency for Colorado decision- makers. We respond to research and information requests from legislators, their staff members and the public. CHI was created in 2002 by three major Colorado health foundations: The Colorado Trust, Caring for Colorado Foundation and Rose Community Foundation. The goal? To fill a gap for reliable and nonpartisan data to help leaders craft informed health policy. Those foundations continue as core funders, along with the Colorado Health Foundation. From our beginning to the present, CHI has evolved into an authoritative organization that plays an important role in Colorado’s health and health care community. We have hosted the Hot Issues in Health conference since 2004. Our Funders: Thank You to Our Sponsors The Hot Issues in Health conference is made possible in part by funding and support from generous sponsor organizations. The Colorado Health Institute acknowledges and thanks these sponsors, who exhibit a clear commitment to fostering productive policy conversations and moving the needle on important health and health care issues in Colorado through their financial support of the conference.
