Think About It Colorado is a public awareness campaign designed to spark a statewide conversation about patient safety and to drive reform in this critical area. Our campaign asks Coloradans to “Imagine a Safer and Healthier Colorado” because that’s the first step towards making it a reality.
Think About It Colorado is guided by dedicated and knowledgeable leaders from the patient advocacy, health care and business communities. Join us by participating in this discussion and helping to create momentum for change.
This website presents a range of perspectives that together offer a broad view of patient safety issues, including new developments. We encourage you to explore these resources and return often, as the content will be frequently updated.
