San Miguel County Public Health acknowledges that long-standing systemic racism, including economic and environmental injustice, has created conditions that negatively affect marginalized communities, particularly people of color.

To realize a future where all Coloradans can thrive, we must be leaders in undoing policies and practices that have contributed to these inequities.
