Hospitals: Here for You
As cornerstone institutions in our communities, Colorado hospitals and health systems take pride in taking expert care of our patients, our communities, and our workforces.
Through the “Hospitals: Here for You” campaign, CHA highlights the good work of member hospitals and health systems. By showcasing everything from clinical excellence to improvements in health care affordability to community benefit to workforce support programs, the Association aims to educate Coloradans about the impact hospitals and health systems make every day.
