2025 Community Health Assessment

Published every five years, a community health assessment measures progress toward improving Denver’s health and identifies areas of health concern. The findings help guide Denver’s public health agencies, in collaboration with local organizations and community stakeholders, on where to focus resources and efforts in future years.

Current COVID-19 Data

In the endemic phase of COVID-19, the ways in which we collect and analyzes data has changed. In November 2023, the Denver Department of Public Health & Environment updated and streamlined COVID-19 dashboards to better reflect the current state of COVID-19 in Denver.

Firearm-Related Harm Prevention

Gun violence is a preventable public health crisis, and the Denver Department of Public Health & Environment (DDPHE) is leading a citywide effort to address it. Collaborating with city agencies and community partners, DDPHE is developing a comprehensive Gun Violence Prevention Blueprint, set to launch in 2025.

Measles (Rubeola)

Some people think of measles as just a little rash and fever that clear up in a few days. But measles can cause serious health complications, especially in children younger than 5 years old. Measles is highly contagious. If one person has it, up to 9 out of 10 people nearby will become infected if they are not protected.
