CHA Announces Creation of the Center for Clinical Leadership and Excellence

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, COLO. – Sept. 25, 2023

Today, Colorado Hospital Association (CHA) announced the creation of its Center for Clinical Leadership and Excellence (CCLE). The CCLE will serve as CHA’s department dedicated to supporting member hospitals and health systems’ ongoing work to deliver excellent care to their patients and communities. The Center will also serve as a critical resource in CHA’s advocacy work, ensuring that the clinical needs of patients are part of the health policy discussions at the state capitol.

“Patients are at the heart of what every Colorado hospital does, so they’re at the heart of what CHA does, too,” said Jeff Tieman, CHA president and CEO. “Through the CCLE, we are renewing our focus on helping association members deliver excellent care to their patients and communities. Under the leadership of Dr. Richard Bottner, the Center will take the lead on clinical education, advocacy, innovation, and research in partnership with hospitals across the state.”

Overseen by a council of clinical leaders from a diverse group of hospitals and health systems across the state, the CCLE is designed to ensure its work is aligned with the needs of Colorado hospitals and their patients.
