Colorado joins new public health alliance in face of Trump administration's remaking of federal health infrastructure

Colorado Joins New Public Health Alliance

Colorado has joined a new public health alliance with over a dozen Democrat-led states to share public health data, best practices, and more.

The state's governor, Jared Polis, announced that Colorado is a founding member of the Governors Public Health Alliance (GPHA), a non-partisan coalition of governors working together to share data, best practices, and coordinate public health policy across state lines.

Earlier this year, Colorado passed a law allowing it to follow the guidance on vaccines of national medical groups, in addition to a federal vaccine advisory committee.

The Governors Public Health Alliance is described as a non-partisan coalition of governors working together to share data, best practices, and coordinate public health policy.

This move is seen as a step away from the federal government's remaking of federal health infrastructure under the Trump administration.
