Sharing Patient Stories

We believe patient stories matter. The Chronic Care Collaborative advocates for the ⅔ of Coloradans living with a chronic disease and their caregivers. We help them share their stories with lawmakers.

Connect You with Legislators

Legislators want to hear from patient communities when working on health-related policies. The CCC works with our member organizations to directly connect patients to legislators to share their stories and experiences to create change. Learn how you can get involved.

Provide Patient Assistance & Resources

Navigating the complex health care system can be overwhelming to people living with chronic diseases, but the CCC has resources to help. From energy assistance programs to understanding your rights, we’re here to help.

Who We Are & What We Do

The Chronic Care Collaborative (CCC) first began meeting in 2009 after realizing that most voluntary health organizations were advocating for similar healthcare goals. The CCC started with 24 organizations and 7 priorities, with the goal to represent and jointly advocate for the over 60% of Coloradans living with a chronic disease. For the past 15 years the CCC has successfully advocated for policies, regulations, and legislation which directly impact the lives of Coloradans living with a chronic disease. From advocating for expanded access to affordable healthcare services to offering respite care for caregivers, the CCC is dedicated to increasing life enhancing opportunities for Coloradans living with chronic disease, and their caregivers.
