CHA Policy and Advocacy Team

Colorado Hospital Association has a strong team of advocates that represent all 100+ of its member hospitals and health systems. The united voice of these advocates is a powerful tool in protecting Colorado patients and the hospitals that serve them. Each week during the legislative session, the Policy and Advocacy Team meets to review relevant health legislation and to develop a plan of action to ensure hospitals are heard.
