The current Commission works closely with the Office of Health Disparities to identify and address specific needs in our minority communities. The Commission has a statewide focus, and conducts open meetings in various locations in Colorado. One key responsibility of the Commission is to work in concert with the Board of Health to make funding recommendations for the Health Disparities Grant Program, established with funds appropriated from the Amendment 35 tobacco cash fund. This program provides financial support for local and statewide initiatives that address prevention, early detection, needs assessment, and treatment of cancer, cardiovascular disease (including diabetes), and pulmonary disease in minority populations.
