Colorado Healthcare Strategy and Management

What Colorado Healthcare Strategy and Management does

Colorado Healthcare Strategy and Management (CHSM) is a Colorado-based not-for-profit organization that convenes the local healthcare community through panel discussions and expert-led events. It operates as a volunteer board staffed by working healthcare professionals from organizations including Guidehouse, EY, Vizient, SOL Mental Health, the Colorado Health Institute, JLG Architects, and Helix, lending the organization direct practitioner credibility and topical relevance to its programming.

The organization offers four primary revenue-generating lines: annual memberships at $50 (Student) and $150 (Professional), corporate sponsorships across Gold, Silver, and Bronze tiers, paid event registration, and a free newsletter subscription. Sponsorships from healthcare market participants — Anthem and Copic at Gold; Kaiser Permanente, HCA Health One, Carelon, Physician Health Partners, Plante Moran, Sharecare, Vivage Beecan, and Aledade at Silver; and The Denver Hospice and United Concordia at Bronze — provide proximity to Colorado healthcare leaders in exchange for event passes and attendance reports. Member benefits include access to live events, a growing library of past event recordings, and an online community.

CHSM's geographic scope is limited to Colorado, and its distribution is built around its Wix-hosted website (chsm.org), a LinkedIn presence, and in-person event attendance. Two events are scheduled for September and November 2026 on workforce resilience and healthcare access. The organization has no disclosed AI, proprietary technology platform, or funding history; its operations rest on volunteer governance, sponsor underwriting, and member-paid subscriptions.
