WHY YES ON 2Q

Denver Health addresses significant issues that affect our community, challenges like violence, homelessness, food insecurity, and mental health. However, a funding crisis threatens essential care and programs, putting vital services at risk. Sustainable funding strategies are needed to protect these services.

This November, you can help ensure access to quality health care for all Denver residents by voting "Yes" on 2Q the Denver Health ballot measure.

This small investment—just over 3 cents for every $10 purchase (excluding food, medicines, diapers,and feminine hygiene products)—will make a significant impact in supporting critical health care services for everyone.
