Colorado Community Health Network

CHCs keep communities healthy.CHCs provide a health care home for more than 650,000 Coloradans.1 That’s more than one in eight people in the state, including 25% of Medicaid enrollees2,4 and 25% of CHP+ enrollees.2,7

Colorado CHCs have a plan called Access for All Colorado, which aims to provide a health care home for more than one million low-income uninsured and medically underserved Coloradans.

Colorado CHCs provided more than 2 million medical, dental, and mental health visits in 2014.2

�� 18 CHCs operate 177 clinic sites in 39 Colorado counties and care for patients living in 61 counties.2,3

�� 15 CHCs operate 62 dental clinic sites in 29 Colorado counties. In 2014, CHCs provided visits to almost 106,000 patients.2

“We treat people when they are healthy, not just when they are sick.”

CHCs serve working families.Over 93% of patients at Colorado CHCs have family incomes below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level ($47,700 per year for a family of four in 2014). CHCs provide primary and preventative care to more than 197,000 Colorado children.2,7

CHCs provide care for thousands of people who slip through the cracks of our health care system, including one-fifth of Colorado’s uninsured.2,7

“We believe that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity.”

Founded in 1982, the Colorado Community Health Network (CCHN) represents the 18 Colorado Community Health Centers that form the backbone of Colorado’s primary health care safety net. CCHN is committed to:

�� Educating policy makers and stakeholders about the unique needs of Community Health Centers (CHCs) and their patients

�� Providing resources to ensure that CHCs are strong organizations

�� Supporting CHCs in maintaining the highest quality care

The Five Pillars of Community Health Centers

�� CHCs serve all patients regardless of ability to pay for services.

�� CHCs are located in medically underserved communities or populations.

�� CHCs provide comprehensive primary health care.

�� CHCs are run by community boards: 51% of board members must be patients.

�� CHCs are community-based nonprofits or public agencies with a mission to provide health care to low-income, working families.

Colorado Community Health Network

Community Health Centers (CHCs) provide affordable care to working families in communities that would otherwise not have adequate access to health care services. But that’s not the whole story.

CHCs are innovative.CHCs are leaders in delivering high quality primary and preventive care. CHCs have electronic health records, offer extended hours and innovative health programs, and work to engage patients as partners in their own health care. CHCs are the future of health care: digitized, integrated, cost-effective and patient-focused.

CHCs keep patient healthy and out of emergency rooms. Colorado Medicaid clients who use CHCs are one-third less likely than Medicaid clients of other providers to have an emergency room visit, an inpatient hospitalization, or a preventable hospital admission.5 CHCs demonstrate equal or better performance on select quality measures, despite serving patients who have more chronic disease and socioeconomic complexity.6

“We don’t stand still. We’re always looking for ways to improve.”

CHCs create jobs.CHCs directly employ more than 4,410 people in high-need communities around the state.2 In 2011, CHCs also supported 2,404 jobs in other business and generated jobs for 6,025 Colorado residents.

“People who work here stay here, because we can see what a difference we make every day.”

CHCs provide exceptional care.All of Colorado CHCs are working towards becoming Patient Centered Medical Homes (PCMH), with 72% having achieved official PCMH recognition. That means they focus on system and team redesign, care coordination and communication, improving the patient experience, providing quality care and reducing costs.

“We provide affordable, efficient, coordinated care all under one roof.”
