Mission and Vision

We increase the distribution of the healthcare workforce to address healthcare disparities in this state.

We support practice transformation throughout Colorado to ensure high-quality healthcare delivery for everyone.

We serve as the link between Coloradans, state resources, and the resources of Anschutz Medical Campus to help healthy people thrive in healthy communities.

We envision every person in Colorado having the opportunity to attain their full and best health potential.

COAHEC recruits, develops, and supports current and future healthcare professionals to deliver the best healthcare services to Colorado’s rural and underrepresented communities, where access to healthcare can be scarce.

COAHEC does this by providing programs for students interested in healthcare, events to improve community health, continuing education for health professionals, and housing for students on clinical rotations.
