Building a Public Health Movement

It is so easy to fall into a pattern of apathy as we go through our lives. Our organization was born out of a commitment to address real societal issues, and face them head on. We have set out to uplift the public health workforce, our Colorado community, and those who deeply care about building the healthiest Colorado for all. At our core, we are pursuing transformation in Colorado by our commitment to anti-racism and equity, as we know this is pivotal to building a public health movement. CPHA is here to serve our community, and we believe that change is possible when we put our hearts and minds to it.
