Isabel Cruz, Policy Manager, Colorado Consumer
Health Initiative(CCHI), presented on advancing health equity from the
consumer perspective. Ms. Cruz's slides may be found on the committee's
webpage at:http://leg.colorado.gov/sites/default/files/images/8_cchi_advancing_health_equity_through_the_consumer_perspective_0.pdf.
She discussed the uninsured rates of different populations, the root
causes of health inequity, and CCHI's efforts to create a consumer centered
approach to health equity. She spoke about the barriers to advancing
consumer-centered health equity, including the complexity of the health
care system; the lack of resource for culturally and linguistically responsive
outreach, implementation, and services; and the lack of consistent data
to understand systems and problems.
