Nominate a Community Champion!

The CCMU Annual Luncheon will be held on September 23rd at 11:00am-1:00pm at the Space Gallery (400 Santa Fe Drive in Denver). The theme this year is Health is Connected, highlighted by our keynote speaker Liz Baxter. We aim to inspire change in the health care system with the power of a diverse range of stakeholders since we believe that health is connected. Investing in health helps communities flourish, and its role as a key part of our civic and social infrastructure is absolute. We often say that policy change accompanies community change in order to create more lasting, holistic change, and this event will focus on the collaborative, collective approach to health care systems change. Register here!

Liz Baxter is a seasoned leader and advocate for health and health care. She is currently the executive director of the Oregon Public Health Institute and board chair of Cover Oregon. Throughout her career, Liz has been a leader in recognizing and convening a diverse range of stakeholders to ensure that policy making is the result of valuable public engagement and different perspectives.

Each year, CCMU honors different members of the community who have been champions for the underserved. The Community Champion Awards can be for physicians, non-physician providers, and community advocates. Nominate those you work with who deserve to be recognized and celebrated!
