Community Forum to Discuss Relocating DHS Services to HCPF, November 16

The Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) and the Department of Human Services (DHS) submitted a legislative report to the Joint Budget Committee regarding the possible relocation of the Division of Developmental Disabilities, the State Unit on Aging, and the Children's Residential Habilitation Program from DHS to HCPF. This move is being considered to leverage federal health care reform dollars, to streamline the Long Term Care system, and to improve client services. The Departments are seeking public input on the proposal to relocate these programs. The first of several community forums will be held on November 16, 8:15am - 10:15 am at the Fort Logan Auditorium. An option to call in is available: 1-877-820-7831, Participant pass-code: 447596. If you plan to attend, please RSVP by November 14.
