Colorado’s kids need our help. Our state is not just dealing with the continuing health, social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data from the most recent America’s Health Rankings shows that even before the pandemic started, Colorado youth had comparatively low high school graduation rates (ranked 44th in the country), and higher rates of teen suicide (43rd in the country). Most public health challenges such as these have been exacerbated this past year, as COVID has undermined normal, healthy routines by isolating people from one another and causing higher levels of anxiety and depression. To help address these issues, Rocky Mountain Health Plans, a UnitedHealthcare company, recently announced a $30 million donation to increase access to health care and support communities across Colorado.
