The Colorado Public Health Act of 2008 (SB 08-194) required development of a comprehensive, statewide public health improvement plan on or before December 31, 2009, and at a minimum every five years thereafter. C olorado's Public Health Improvement Plan of 2009 outlined a foundation of strategic recommendations to sustain an improved public health system. Since then, local public health agencies in Colorado have prepared local plans following a process of stakeholder engagement, community health and capacity assessments and prioritization of health issues. Additionally, a statewide public and environmental health assessment process was undertaken in 2013, which informs and lays the groundwork for development of the 2014 Colorado Public Health Improvement Plan., Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed October 2025)
This plan considers the priorities of local public health agency plans. The local public health agency plan's alignment is shown in Figure A. In some cases the exact priority is not identical, but important concepts such as social determinants of health and racism as a public health crisis have important alignment in equity. In many plans, concepts such as health equity are cross-cutting and therefore are not specifically named as a stand alone priority. This plan builds upon a 2018 statewide health assessment and statewide public health improvement plan. This assessment and the PHIP's initial priorities were guided by a diverse, multi-sectoral Assessment and Planning Advisory Council and the PHIP's initial priorities were guided by a diverse, multi-sectoral Assessment and Planning Advisory Council (APAC) to develop the assessment and plan. Subject matter experts, a Navigation Team and community members provided input and leadership. The pandemic delayed the publishing of this plan and changed some of the priorities. Still, many goals have been, and continue to be, actively advanced while the plan is finalized., "Published 2022.", Includes bibliographical references., Description based on online resource; title from PDF cover; (viewed July 2025)
The mission of the public health field is to ensure the conditions in which people can be healthy. Public health improvement planning is considered a best practice in the field, and is an important step in achieving our vision of a healthy and sustainable Colorado where current and future generations thrive. This plan sets priorities through 2029 and provides a roadmap for the governmental public health system to address some of today's most pressing and complex health and environmental challenges. It elevates and addresses key issues such as infectious disease prevention, improving air quality, responding to the effects of climate change, improving mental and behavioral health, and others. This plan provides an overarching direction for the next five years with the intention to work with partners and communities to improve each of the priorities as outlined in this document., Includes bibliographical references (unnumbered pages 46-50), Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed September 2025)
Every five years, Colorado's Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Program conducts a state-level needs assessment of the health and well-being of women, children, youth and families to guide state and local public health work and to meet Title V MCH Block Grant requirements. The goal of the assessment is to gather information to understand what issues are facing this population and then to identify seven to ten specific priorities that can be positively impacted by public health work during the next five years. State and local MCH staff use the selected MCH priorities as a tool to focus efforts, align resources, and to positively impact in the lives of women, children and youth including those with special health care needs, and their families., Online resource; title from PDF caption (viewed July 2018)

As a condition of enrollment in a licensed child care facility and/or Colorado public school, Colorado law requires children to be immunized per the vaccine schedule required by the Colorado Board of Health. However, the student has the option of claiming an exemption in order to be in compliance. Currently, the state allows three different types of exemptions for immunizations: medical; religious; personal belief. The mission of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) is to protect and improve the health of Colorado's people and the quality of its environment. Along with its partners throughout the State, CDPHE embarked on a collaborative process to better understand the current knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs around immunizations and exemptions in Colorado., prepared by the Keystone Center., "October 2013.", Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed August 2018)
The federal Clean Water Act requires that stormwater discharges from certain types of facilities be authorized under stormwater discharge permits. The goal of the stormwater permits program is to reduce the amount of pollutants entering streams, lakes and rivers as a result of runoff from residential, commercial and industrial areas. The original 1990 regulation covered municipal (i.e., publicly-owned) storm sewer systems for municipalities over 100,000 population. The regulation was expanded in 1999 to include smaller municipalities as well. This expansion of the program is referred to as Phase II., Resource list: pages 45-51., Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed February 2016)
