Governor Hickenlooper begins a statewide economic development tour today, Friday, January 14. We would like to urge you and your colleagues to attend the meeting in your community, and help articulate the importance of healthcare as an economic driver in rural Colorado:

  • A rural hospital is often one the largest employers that offers one of the largest payrolls in rural Colorado counties
  • A single rural Family Physician generally directly creates 3 jobs and indirectly creates 18 additional jobs
  • “Leakage” of healthcare dollars to larger towns and across state lines hurts local economies
  • Companies take access to healthcare for their workers into account when considering whether or not to relocate to rural Colorado
