CCHA Advisory Committees

Colorado Community Health Alliance (CCHA) values the voice of our Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid Program) members, providers and stakeholders throughout the community as we continue to evolve our service model and programs.

We provide advisory committees as a forum to effectively promote engagement in Health First Colorado and gain valuable insight from a diverse range of participants in the region we serve. Through these committees, we work with Health First Colorado members, caregivers, advocates, providers, community organizations, state agencies and other members of the health neighborhood to involve them, listen to their input, and problem solve with them.

Our Member Experience Advisory Council, also known as our Member Advisory Committee (MAC), is used to gather feedback from members and caregivers on how to improve our programs and guide us in innovative new approaches to whole‐person, coordinated care. Our goal is to confirm the interventions we offer apply to the real lives of members.

Participating members represent a diverse population that brings input from varying perspectives on topics such as care coordination programs and screening tools, engagement efforts and access to care. We also solicit feedback on member education materials and other communications to help ensure the information is meaningful, understandable and distributed via effective delivery methods.

CCHA will hold two Member Advisory Committee (MAC) meetings each quarter—one in English and one in Spanish—to ensure that members can participate in the language they are most comfortable with. This approach supports inclusive engagement and helps us better understand the needs and experiences of all Health First Colorado members in our region.

Reasonable accommodations for the meetings will be provided upon request for persons with disabilities. Please contact Committees@CCHAcares.com at least two weeks prior to the scheduled meeting if you need accommodations.

The mission of this committee is to bring together a diverse, multi-disciplinary network of health care providers, community organizations and other service providers to share feedback on processes and systems to improve health, access, cost, and satisfaction of members and providers.

CCHA will hold two Program Improvement Advisory Committee (PIAC) meetings each quarter—one focused on our northern counties (Jefferson, Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, and Gilpin), and one focused on our southern counties (El Paso, Park, and Teller). This structure ensures localized input and meaningful engagement across Region 3.

Purpose:

  • Engage and strengthen the health neighborhood and community in the regions we serve
  • Provide a forum to give feedback about CCHA processes and systems
  • Create a health neighborhood and community leadership network
  • Advise on strategies for reinvesting CCHA incentive funds to support and strengthen the health neighborhood and community

Reasonable accommodations for the meetings will be provided upon request for persons with disabilities. Please contact Committees@CCHAcares.com at least two weeks prior to the scheduled meeting if you need accommodations.

CCHA convenes the Regional Health Equity Committee (RHEC) to examine and address issues of health equity and disparities impacting the diverse communities within our region. The committee serves as a forum for open dialogue, collaborative problem-solving, and community-informed recommendations aimed at reducing barriers to equitable care.

The RHEC is composed of a broad and inclusive group of stakeholders, including:

  • Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid program) members, including individuals with disabilities
  • Primary care and behavioral health providers
  • Specialty providers, hospitals, nursing facilities, and long-term services and supports
  • Oral health providers
  • Health Neighborhood partners
  • Advocacy organizations and community-based agencies
  • Local public health and child welfare agencies

The purpose of this committee is to:

  • Identify and discuss equity and accessibility challenges faced by Health First Colorado members
  • Review regional health equity performance data to inform areas of need
  • Provide guidance and feedback on the design and implementation of CCHA's Health Equity Plan
  • Offer actionable recommendations to improve outcomes and reduce disparities within the region

CCHA is committed to ensuring the committee reflects the demographic breadth of the communities it serves. As such, we place a strong emphasis on recruiting Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC), individuals with disabilities, and other focus populations outlined in the Health Equity Plan. The RHEC plays a vital role in shaping a more inclusive, informed, and responsive approach to health equity across the region.
