The hospitalization rate for kids reached its highest level in 15 years, and 52 children have died of flu complications, including three in Colorado. | | | | UCHealth is under contract to buy a 110-acre parcel on the northwest corner of the Interstate 25 and Baseline Road interchange. | | | | | Nine current and former Colorado Behavioral Health Administration staffers told The Denver Post that Commissioner Dannette Smith fostered a chaotic and stressful work culture. | | | | | Bennet also proposed allowing school districts, county governments, certain small businesses and people between 25 and 35 to buy into the state employee health plan. | | | | | The H-1B visa allows American employers to hire foreign workers with at least a bachelor’s degree, typically when they can’t find U.S.-based applicants. | | | | | Preliminary statistics suggest a continued improvement in 2025. | | | | | An air quality test in Weld County on Monday revealed a pipeline-related gas leak near a school bus stop north of Fort Lupton, according to Colorado health officials. | | | |
