We came to #NACCHO360 for ideas, clarity and community and left with all three, plus s’mores, surf attempts and the kind of connection that fuels this work.
Holding hope is no soft thing - It's quiet strength in motion. The work continues. So do we.

A year ago, the JCPH mobile clinic hit the road to meet people where they are - since then there have been 13 events, 163 vaccines and countless community connections.

🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQIA+ Pride Month Proclamation 🏳️‍🌈
Jeffco Commissioners have officially proclaimed June as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month in Jefferson County. June marks the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Riots—an uprising that became a turning point in the fight for LGBTQIA+ rights.

The data’s clear: when people feel seen and supported, health improves.
That’s why we back projects like BADJ that help adults show up for LGBTQ+ youth.
Inclusion isn’t optional—it’s public health.

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, red-faced and yelling, stands over a backyard barbecue grill. Text reads: “SALMONELLA IS NOT A SEASONING!”

Don’t end up on Gordon Ramsay's bad side.

Keep raw meats cold until ready to cook, never reuse plates or tongs for cooked food, wash your hands before and after handling raw foods and always temp check! 🥩
