The Denver Health Community Voices program is dedicated to ensuring that underserved populations have access to health care, making a significant contribution to understanding the health care challenges facing communities, advancing recommendations for change, and implementing solutions.

Designed to strengthen community support services and to help ensure the survival of safety net providers, Community Voices sites across the country are piloting different approaches to improve health care delivery and formulate new policy solutions. These locally-developed solutions are providing the nation a health blueprint for change.

Community Voices program areas include: access to care, community health outreach, case/care management, oral health, mental/behavioral health and substance abuse; and men's health.Reaching out to underserved populations has been the hallmark of Denver Health Community Voices.

Community Health Advisors serve as Denver Health ambassadors, going into hard-to-reach neighborhoods and connecting people with the care and services they need. Community outreach has been particularly effective in Denver's Latino, African-American and Native-American communities, bringing underserved individuals into the public health system.

The Community Voice program was originally launched in 1998 by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
