The University of Colorado in partnership with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Invites you to attend a Southwestern Colorado regional meeting on prevention! As part of a statewide prevention needs assessment, we are visiting communities throughout Colorado to hear about what is working, what is challenging, what efforts you want to see funded, and how funding is being used to prevent substance use. What we hear during these meetings will inform prevention funding beginning in 2026 (the upcoming grant cycle).

Syphilis in Colorado: A Call to Action
With rates of syphilis surging across the US, Colorado had a three-fold increase in the incidence of all stages of syphilis, along with a seven-fold increase in the incidence of congenital syphilis from 2018 to 2023. This four-session series will cover the most pressing gaps in screening, identification and treatment of syphilis. Additionally, it will address the social factors that have contributed to the continued proliferation of the disease in our communities, particularly among those who have limited access to obstetric and sexual health care. Providers and professionals will learn the newest, evidence-based tools and recommendations from CDPHE on how to identify and reduce the incidence of syphilis.
This series will equip professionals across Colorado’s health care, public health and corrections systems with the knowledge, skills and resources to effectively address the increasing prevalence of syphilis in communities across the state.
Primary Audience:
Primary care providers (MD, DO, APP, PA), obstetricians, nurses (NP, RN), emergency department and urgent care physicians, NICU/pediatrics providers
Also Welcome:
Midwives, doulas, corrections clinical staff, health departments (LPHA), public health professionals, ophthalmologists and dermatologists, substance use counselors
Four weekly ECHO sessions held virtually
Tuesdays 12:00 - 1:00 PM MT
