The Immigrant Health Access Collaborative (IHAC) is a growing, cross-sector movement committed to equity, access, and dignity in healthcare for immigrant communities across Colorado.
IHAC is a statewide initiative working to protect and expand healthcare access for Colorado’s immigrant communities — regardless of immigration status or type of health coverage. Founded in response to urgent community needs and shifting policy landscapes, IHAC brings together community-based organizations, public health leaders, legal advocates, and healthcare providers to build a coordinated, culturally responsive approach to immigrant health.
We know that when systems change, immigrant families are often the first to feel the impact — and the last to be heard. IHAC exists to change that. Through collaboration, shared resources, and united advocacy, we work to ensure that immigrant voices lead the conversation and that every person in Colorado — no matter where they come from — has the right to access care with dignity, equity, and respect.
To create a trusted, cross-sector network that:
• Aligns on policy and advocacy strategies impacting immigrant communities
• Coordinates culturally responsive outreach and education
• Builds stronger relationships across organizations serving immigrants of all coverage types — including those on Medicaid, uninsured, and privately insured
What We Do:

Align policy and advocacy strategies impacting immigrant communities
Host monthly virtual collaboration meetings

Strengthen networks between organizations serving immigrant populations across all coverage types (Medicaid, uninsured, privately insured)
Colorado’s immigrant communities are facing major shifts in healthcare access — including the expansion of Medicaid and sudden federal budget cuts. This is a critical moment to unite, inform, and ensure that immigrant voices are at the forefront of decisions that affect their lives.
We cannot afford to wait. We must organize now.
