Informing Policy. Advancing Health.

“Hot Issues in Health actually discusses policy issues from a bipartisan perspective, making it informative

for Democrats and Republicans.” 2017 Conference Attendee

WHY CHI?The Colorado Health Institute is Colorado’s leading nonprofit and nonpartisan

health policy research group. Since our founding more than 15 years ago by the state’s leading health foundations, our team of health policy veterans

has become a trusted partner in the work of making Colorado as healthy as possible. Simply, we believe that sound evidence and solid analysis lead to better

health policy, and that better health policy leads to healthier Coloradans.

2018

Informing Policy. Advancing Health.

Our annual Hot Issues in Health conference has become the most important health policy forum in Colorado. There are many good reasons to be part of this event. Here are the top five.

It’s where you’ll find the Colorado leaders who care about health policy. Legislators, city and county policymakers, government officials, insurance executives, health care providers, consumer advocates and researchers gather to learn, discuss, debate and collaborate.

The nation’s leading health policy thinkers from varying political perspectives regularly appear as keynote speakers, bringing insight and updates from the front lines.

New ideas and new connections flourish in the meeting rooms, hallways and networking breaks.

Colorado Health Institute experts present our latest research, giving attendees a head start on solving the state’s toughest health policy problems.

All attendees are focused on the same goal: making Coloradans healthier.
