Our Mission
To make expertise accessible
by connecting people, knowledge and healthcare systems, improving access to care, strengthening the healthcare workforce and building healthier communities.
Making Expertise Accessible
Healthcare expertise exists across Colorado. The challenge isn't whether the knowledge exists, but whether it reaches the clinicians and communities who need it when they need it. The Care Collaborative exists to solve this challenge.
We connect healthcare professionals with specialized knowledge so patients can receive high-quality care closer to home. Through technology, education, partnerships and innovative care models, we help expertise move across organizations, disciplines and geography, strengthening healthcare throughout Colorado.
Every connection we build supports a simple goal: helping providers deliver better care by making specialized expertise more accessible.
Why We Exist
Healthcare providers manage more conditions than ever before, while specialty care is often concentrated in larger health systems and urban centers. Rather than asking patients to travel farther or wait longer, we help move expertise to the point of care.
By connecting specialists, primary care providers, health systems, public health agencies, researchers, educators and community organizations, we make it easier for knowledge to reach the people caring for patients every day.
When expertise flows more freely:
- Providers receive timely guidance and peer support.
- Patients get answers sooner and closer to home.
- Health systems reduce unnecessary referrals and delays.
- Communities build lasting local capacity.
