      • Please join us for the 2025 Colorado Hospital and Rural Health Day on the Hill event, co-hosted by CRHC and Colorado Hospital Association (CHA)! This FREE event is offered exclusively to CRHC and CHA members and is an opportunity for leaders from hospitals and rural health clinics to gather, share their perspectives, and advocate for key policy issues while growing relationships with policymakers at the Colorado state capitol. CRHC and CRHC are excited to have members join to observe – and participate in – the legislative process!

        This year’s event takes place the day before CRHC’s Colorado Rural Health Conference kicks off on Tuesday, April 15. For those attending the conference, transportation will be provided to and from the conference hotel, Omni Interlocken. The program will begin at CHA’s downtown office at 10:00 a.m., followed by an afternoon at the Colorado state capitol. While there, hospital and clinic representatives will meet with legislators and Polis administration officials and will have the opportunity to observe the General Assembly in action. The event will end at 3:30 p.m. and those attending the CRHC conference will be transported back to the Omni Hotel. A light breakfast and lunch will be served at the event, and CRHC will be hosting a post-event happy hour back at the Omni Interlocken.
