Outpatient care centers help keep patients out of the hospital – the most expensive place to seek care. Without access to outpatient care, more patients will be forced to go to the emergency room, raising costs for everyone. #coleg #HB1215

"Even if scaled back per the proponent’s message, this will still harm access to care — and especially essential primary and preventive care that is helping Coloradans stay healthier and OUT of the hospital." #coleg #HB1215

Yesterday, I met with representatives from rural hospitals to discuss issues that we are facing in rural communities and the challenges they are facing due to the one-size fits-all approach to healthcare coming from the state legislature.
We need to support our Hospital System statewide!! One of the building blocks to a healthy community! @ColoSenGOP https://twitter.com/COHospitalAssn/status/1636448470218285056
