Dear Friends and Family,

Thelma Craig
Chair, Colorado Black Health Collaborative

Family has always been important in our community. The Colorado Black Health Collaborative (CBHC) believes that health is a family affair and they are the most valuable assets we have. We always celebrate birthdays, weddings, graduations, holidays, and other treasured moments in our lives. Just as we celebrate these momentous occasions, why not come together and celebrate good health. What better way to celebrate your family than to come together and learn about the health of your family? In order for us to continue to enrich our future and celebrate these occasions, we must focus on our health. We can work to improve and preserve our family heritage by sharing ideas and finding better ways to address our health issues. We are obliged to come together to discover what’s necessary to develop key elements to keep us healthy and strong as a people and help tackle the health disparities that exist in our family. Each one of us is a link in our family’s chain, and we know a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. United we can stand strong and healthy.

Let us hear from you!

Do you know a Black doctor, dentist, psychologist or other health care provider in Colorado? Do you know what organizations have been specifically formed or have targeted efforts addressing Black health and wellness? The Colorado Black Health Collaborative Resource Directory will help answer these questions and more. This project is a result of a “Family Reunion” meeting convened by the Colorado Black Health Collaborative.

Currently, our staff is working hard to compile The 2011 Colorado Black Health Collaborative Resource Directory. This directory is a vital link in the continual effort to improve the health for all Coloradans but we need your input. How can we make this one-of-a-kind resource better? Who have we missed, what else should be included, have we missed any resources?
