“As an executive and a nurse who has served in many disaster management roles throughout my career, and most recently on the frontlines of COVID-19, I know firsthand how important staffing and resources are to providing high-quality, lifesaving care,” said Hollie Seeley, President & CEO of North Suburban Medical Center. “Our people are our top priority -- it is critical that we retain our workforce who have so bravely served patients during these extraordinary times. We appreciate the support of the state to make this type of investment in our people and facilities, and I am confident that we can make equitable health care changes to better our system for a healthier tomorrow.”
"Family physicians celebrate the passage of these three bills because we want our healthcare system to be more affordable, more equitable, and more accessible for communities across Colorado,” said Erica Pike, Director of Policy & Government Relations at the Colorado Academy of Family Physicians (CAFP).
“The passage of HB-1370 is a huge win for the 62% of Coloradans living with chronic conditions who need consistent, high-quality care to lead happy, healthy lives. They also need to be able to count on their health coverage. HB-1370 will lower out-of-pocket costs for prescription medications and improve access to care, which is why it has the support of a coalition of over 60 organizations. Thank you to the bill sponsors, Colorado legislators and Gov. Polis for supporting this commonsense legislation which will make health coverage more dependable and affordable,” said Sara Froelich, Executive Director of the Chronic Care Collaborative.
