It’s been a pleasure and privilege to serve as Chief Executive Officer of Connect for Health Colorado since April 2015. We’re the official health insurance marketplace for the state, a.k.a., the Obamacare marketplace for Coloradans. As a long-standing partner of the Colorado Black Health Collaborative, Connect for Health Colorado is committed to providing a vital tool for the diverse and thriving Black communities across our state. Our marketplace offers a range of health insurance options that cater to the unique needs of these communities. It is our honor to sponsor the 2024 Health Resource Directory publication.
As a husband and father, I know it can become too easy to lose sight of our health needs when juggling our daily responsibilities of family, work, church, and school. Sometimes, we forget to prioritize getting our annual check-ups or needed health exams get pushed back because the medical care available is inaccessible. Critical preventive care measures don’t happen for many without health insurance coverage, or serious chronic conditions go untreated.
We’re Here to Help
We understand the struggle to keep up with inflation and that taking on another monthly bill can seem unfeasible. But, as I speak to folks in our Community, I remind them of why our organization is here—to make health coverage not just affordable but also accessible for all Coloradans while giving people quality choices. On average, 75 percent of our customers qualify for financial help. That includes Advance Premium Tax Credits to reduce monthly payments and Cost-Sharing Reductions to lower costs for prescriptions, copayments, and deductibles.
You can find a quality health plan for you and your family at reasonable prices and get expert guidance from a certified Broker or community-based Assister. Our expert enrollment help is always free, and you’re not obligated to purchase a plan when you speak with an expert. So, I encourage you to contact us and find out how to protect your health, finances, and loved ones by getting covered. With the right health coverage, you can have greater peace of mind year-round and lead your healthiest life.

All my best,
