CCMU In Communities
CCMU works to promote health care system transformation at the community level through our participation in many state level advisory committees and taskforces. CCMU is a member of the Safety Net Advisory Committee hosted by the Colorado Health Institute, and through participation on the Colorado Voices for Coverage Advisory Committee. CCMU is a lead participant in the Language Access Taskforce led by The Spring Institute for Intercultural Learning.

CCMU is directly involved in an health care systems improvement effort in Aurora, Colorado called Aurora Health Access. For over twenty years, engaged citizens, health care providers and local agencies have worked hard to ensure the health care system in Aurora meets the needs of everyone in the community. Despite these efforts, the current health care system in Aurora is not meeting the needs of individuals and families that live in the city at a great human and economic cost to the city.

On November 10, 2009 over 150 community and health care leaders and residents attended a public meeting on health care access in Aurora. From this group the Aurora Health Access Taskforce was born; a group of over 30 residents, leaders, providers and community agencies committed to transforming the health care system in Aurora. The goal of Aurora Health Access is to create a health care system in Aurora that meets the needs of all residents. Aurora Health Access is being led by St. Therese FAMILY, Metro Organizations for People, Metro Community Provider Network, Exempla St. Joseph Hospital, and CCMU.

Workgroups are currently being developed to address priorities for the community. If you are interested in getting involved, please send emaail to Gretchen Hammer: gretchen.hammer@ccmu.org.
