COMMUNITY IMPACT
Community Networks
The Community Impact Program focuses on increasing health equity across the Yampa Valley. We do this through strengthening relationships with partner organizations, participating in community wide committees and through the projects included below:
- Partnering with healthcare agencies to complete the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA)
- Facilitating the Cost Of Poverty Experience (COPE)
- Convening the Yampa Valley Well Being Consortium
- Providing provider partnership
- Supporting the Regional Health Connector (RHC)

How We Connect Local Agencies and Providers
Our organization primarily acts as the resource and referral hub between agencies, providers and individuals that offer health and well-being services to the community. Acting as the hub, we are able to see and understand our clients’ challenges even when they can’t, and then navigate them to care solutions by guiding them to the right partners and resources with confidence and ease.
Because we believe two heads are better than one, The Health Partnership is committed to collaboration that strengthens the work of our community partners and non-duplication of existing serves. We lead the Yampa Valley Well-Being Consortium, a group that has been working since 2019 to improve and streamline care delivery in Northwest Colorado. We host collaborative care meetings to ensure people in our communities are connected to the right resources and have developed county-specific resource and referral lists for our network and clinical partners, available in English and Spanish.
Our work is always evolving, if you see a need in the community or would like to partner with us, we would love to hear from you.
