By serving Coloradans who have less power, privilege and income, and by prioritizing Coloradans of color, we keep equity at the heart of our work to bring health in reach.
Hate Should Not Define Our Daily Lives
After a weekend of unspeakable and heart-shattering violence in El Paso, Dayton and beyond – we stand with the individuals, families and communities impacted. We all deserve to live in safe communities that are not awash with fear, trauma and grief. We all deserve to live in a country where hate does not define our daily lives – where the actions we see and the words we hear do not perpetuate discrimination and violence.
No matter your personal or professional role in this harrowing public epidemic, please help us spread the word about resources for supporting those affected by violence and trauma.
