At The Colorado Health Foundation, we believe in listening first. Each year, we ensure Coloradans’ voices are heard on crucial issues like affordable housing, health care and mental well-being. By gathering data rooted in Coloradans’ experiences and perspectives, The Colorado Health Foundation Pulse Poll provides valuable insights to inform policy decisions that will have a lasting impact on the well-being of Colorado's communities for years to come.
