It's #UniversalHealthCoverageDay! Here's one way CIVHC is helping to expand health care coverage in our state. The CO APCD is written into multiple pieces of legislation as an ongoing data source. In 2022, the CO APCD was written into 5 pieces of legislation - a record!

What We're Reading Today: CIVHC's Community Dashboard, now updated with data from 2013-2021, shows that, overall, more Coloradans are getting the care they need to stay healthy. Thanks so much to Public News Service for the story! publicnewsservice.org/2023-12-14/hea…

CIVHC's Provider Payment Tool enables Coloradans to understand how payments to health care providers for services vary between years, provider types, insurance payers, and regions across the state. This first-of-its-kind tool can be used by a number of audiences. 🧵

That's very, very sexy. 😉 #publichealthvalentines

This analogy is my favorite!

Here's where CO APCD data may have impacted Coloradans in the last few years. From FY 2018-2019 through FY 2022-2023, CIVHC released data for 280 non-public and 48 public projects (wow). Learn about our achievements in 2023 with the CO APCD Annual Report: civhc.org/wp-content/upl…
