 Governor’s Dialogue on Health Care Vision and Values – Final Report
The Colorado Trust supported Governor Ritter in his efforts to convene, inform and engage people across the state in a conversation about what they want from their health care system and values underlying that vision. The process was designed to complement the work of the Blue Ribbon Commission for Health Care Reform and provide further input to the Ritter Administration in setting a course for change. This guide provided a baseline of information about the health care system in Colorado and was used to stimulate creative thinking around the topic of health reform in the community discussions.
