2023 State Health Assessment
Every five years, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment collaborates with partners across the state to assess the status of Colorado's public and environmental health and identify health and environment priorities for the next five years. This work results in a state health assessment (SHA) and state health improvement plan (SHIP.) Both of these documents are required by the 2008 Public Health Act and the national Public Health Accreditation Board. CDPHE and partners have completed the 2023 State Health Assessment and are currently in the process of developing the 2025-2029 State Health Improvement Plan. In accordance with the Colorado Health Assessment and Planning (CHAPS) process, our Office also developed the following 2023 Capacity Assessment.
