What is CDPHE doing to improve Colorado?
Colorado’s Public & Environmental Health Improvement Plan
CDPHE's Public Health Improvement Plan provides a roadmap through 2024 on key issues such as pandemic response, health equity, improving air quality, mental health, and other priorities. This plan outlines an overarching direction across the governmental public health system with the intent to work with additional partners and communities to move these priorities forward.
2024-2027 Strategic Plan
Our strategic priorities represent a short- and long-term plan for ensuring the wellbeing of Coloradans. In addition to maintaining and enhancing our core programs, the department continues to identify and respond to emerging issues affecting Colorado's public and environmental health. (HOLD)
Greenhouse gas reduction
The Greenhouse Gas Pollution Reduction Roadmap will establish the 2005 greenhouse gas pollution baseline, assess the effects of recent legislative and administrative policy changes, and evaluate additional pathways to ensure timely progress toward the state's greenhouse gas pollution reduction goals.
Office of Gun Violence Prevention
Created by HB21- 1299, the Office of Gun Violence Prevention is a new office in CDPHE that will coordinate and promote effective strategies to reduce gun violence in our state. CDPHE is establishing the office now and will update information as soon as it becomes available.
Ozone and your health
Colorado can experience higher ozone pollution levels any time, but most frequently during summer months. This is because ground-level ozone pollution forms when certain air pollutants react in heat and sunlight. The Air Pollution Control Division issues daily ozone pollution forecasts for Colorado's north Front Range from May 31 - August 31 each year, so Coloradans have the necessary information to plan ahead and make informed decisions.
Public participation
CDPHE abides federal and state environmental and public health laws in providing members of the public with an opportunity to participate in CDPHE decision-making processes. Individuals with limited English proficiency are entitled to equal opportunity and meaningful access to programs, activities, services, and other CDPHE benefits. This model promotes health equity and environmental justice by providing access to programs and services to all Coloradans.
COVID-19 in Colorado
Getting vaccinated, wearing a mask if unvaccinated, washing your hands, and getting tested if you have symptoms are crucial to stopping the spread.
