The Colorado Health Foundation is a foundation focused on improving the health of Colorado residents. It works through grantmaking, policy and advocacy, and strategic private investments. Foundation partners include nonprofits, health care leaders, policy makers, educators and the private sector. The Foundation engages in six focus areas: Access to Care, Behavioral Health, Healthy Behaviors, Healthy Children and Adolescents, Healthy Communities and Social Determinants of Health. As of 2015, the Foundation had assets of $2.3 billion.
HCA-HealthONE LLC began in 1995 as a joint venture between various affiliates of HCA and Denver's HealthOne hospitals. Until the recent HealthONE sale, the purpose and intent of the original joint venture was to strengthen and grow the HealthONE hospitals, while maintaining an ongoing commitment to community benefit and charity care.
In 1999, HealthONE assumed the trade name of HealthONE Alliance.
In 2002, the Rose Family Medicine Residency joined the HealthONE Alliance. <http://www.coloradohealth.org/ourstory.aspx>
In 2006, HealthONE Alliance changes its name to the Colorado Health Foundation to reflect its work across the state and adopted the goal of making Colorado the healthiest state in the nation. In addition to operating five graduate medical education (GME) residency programs and three community programs, the Colorado Health Foundation awarded $20.4 million in grants <http://www.coloradohealth.org/ourstory.aspx>
In 2007, the Colorado Health Foundation awarded $29.6 million in grants, while continuing to operate five GME residency programs and three community programs. <http://www.coloradohealth.org/ourstory.aspx>
In 2008, embracing its growing grantmaking role, the Colorado Health Foundation invested more than $45 million in nonprofit organizations and graduate medical education. The Foundation also transferred operation of the Johnson Adult Day Program to Total Community Options – one of several programs the Foundation spun off or discontinued as its grantmaking activities grew <http://www.coloradohealth.org/ourstory.aspx>
In 2009, the Colorado Health Foundation more than doubled its community investment from 2008 to $94 million. <http://www.coloradohealth.org/ourstory.aspx>
On Oct. 13, 2011, Colorado Attorney General John Suthers approved the sale of the foundation's 40 percent equity stake in Denver-area's HCA-HealthONE LLC health care system for $1.45 billion. The Foundation continued to partner with HealthONE in managing five Denver-area physician-training residency programs. The agreement established a HealthONE community board of trustees, which will oversee major provisions of the transaction.
