Cover
Section 1, Section 2, Section 3

The Colorado Consumer Health Initiative would like to invite you to use our guidebook of services for the underinsured and uninsured: Connecting Care and Health in Colorado, for your referral needs. We created this guide to help community leaders like you who are serving the uninsured health consumers in Colorado find the resources and safety-net health clinics for your clients.

A training session is also available for the guidebooks and can be provided free of charge for you and your co-workers to better understand the depth of the healthcare crisis and how to use the guide to help your clients. To schedule a training session please call Christina Yong at 303-839-1261 or email her at christina@cohealthinitiative.org
