A global pandemic, a deep economic recession and a national reckoning on police violence against people of color – 2020 has been a life-changing year for many of us, including Colorado’s multifaceted Hispanic and Latino/x communities.

As we approach the end of 2020, it’s important to look back at this truly unprecedented year, even if we’re eager to leave it all behind. Many of us will remember a pandemic year where we’ve had to worry more about our health, keep our distance from family and friends, and struggle through home schooling our kids.

We are nearing the end of 2020, and it’s an understatement to say that this year has been tumultuous for so many Coloradans – especially for folks who earn lower incomes.

In the final stretch before Election Day, I shared some thoughts on how health-related issues may be impacting the mood of voters in Colorado and across the nation. In my interview with Bazi Kanani, learn more about how results from our recent poll could play out in the election and upcoming legislative session.

DENVER, COLORADO – A uniquely difficult year has strained many Coloradans’ finances and mental health while exacerbating housing and food insecurity – dynamics that increase healt

This year has been challenging for many of us – with a pandemic that has taken so many lives, a national reckoning on race that’s long overdue, and political polarization that’s threatening our communities like never before.

It’s times like these when I’m particularly grateful for The Colorado Health Foundation’s commitment to listening to Coloradans. After a year like this (and it’s not over yet!), we know it’s important to hear what’s keeping people up at night, what’s bringing them joy and what Coloradans really think about health.
