Center for Health Progress offers a variety of services aimed at improving health equity across Colorado. These include health education programs that empower communities with knowledge about their health rights and available resources, advocacy efforts to influence public policy for better health access, and community engagement initiatives that bring diverse groups together to address systemic barriers. Additionally, we provide leadership training to equip community members with the skills needed to advocate for change in their own neighborhoods.

We address health access issues by conducting community assessments to identify specific barriers faced by underserved populations. Our team collaborates with local organizations to develop tailored solutions, such as outreach programs that connect individuals to health coverage options and services. We also advocate for policy changes that expand access to care and work to ensure that health systems are responsive to the needs of all community members, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Community engagement is a cornerstone of our approach at Center for Health Progress. We believe that the best solutions come from the communities themselves. Our engagement efforts include organizing forums, workshops, and focus groups where community members can voice their concerns and share their experiences. This feedback informs our programs and advocacy strategies, ensuring that they are relevant and effective. By fostering strong relationships within communities, we empower individuals to take an active role in shaping their health outcomes.

Center for Health Progress influences public policy through a combination of research, advocacy, and coalition-building. We analyze existing health policies to identify gaps and areas for improvement, and we work with policymakers to propose evidence-based solutions that promote health equity. Our advocacy efforts include mobilizing community members to participate in the legislative process, providing testimony at hearings, and collaborating with other organizations to amplify our message. By building coalitions, we create a united front to push for systemic changes that benefit all Coloradans.

Our health education programs are designed to inform and empower individuals about various health topics, including preventive care, chronic disease management, and navigating the health care system. We offer workshops, informational sessions, and resource materials tailored to the needs of specific communities. These programs aim to increase health literacy, enabling participants to make informed decisions about their health and advocate for their needs within the health care system.
