Thank you to CCHI’s Blue Ribbon Commission work group for their tireless effort.
We know approximately 770,000 of Colorado’s residents have no health insurance. This may be due to the fact that families are not aware of programs and services that are available; are not offered health insurance at the workplace or if offered, cannot afford their share of the premiums.What further contributes to children’s lack of access is their parents’ lack of access to health care. The purpose of this guide is to let uninsured families, health care providers, and other social services workers know what health care options are available for the uninsured in our communities.This invaluable fact sheet contains cited information, facts, and statistics about the realities and current state of health care in Colorado. This fact sheet is also available for free through CCHI, and downloadable in .pdf form.
In 2005, CCHI released Connecting Care and Health in Colorado. Often referred to as the “saftey net guide” or the “blue book,” this reference guide contains information on eligibility for state services and programs, health care programs, providers, and safety net agencies.CCHI currently offers 5 copies of the guide for free per clinic, organization or user, and $10 per copy above 5. Please call our office at 303-839-1261 to order copies of the guide.
