The Colorado Hospital Association (CHA) is a nonprofit membership organization representing hospitals and health systems throughout Colorado, dedicated to strengthening patient care, advocating for public policy that supports healthcare delivery, and providing timely education on clinical, operational, and workforce issues impacting hospitals and healthcare facilities across the state. Locum tenens clinicians and staffing partners play a critical role in this ecosystem by helping hospitals maintain continuity of care during workforce gaps and peak demand periods—a priority topic CHA often addresses in its programming. In 2026, CHA’s calendar includes key events like the Annual Meeting (September 23–25, 2026, at Cheyenne Mountain Resort) along with member education sessions, forums such as the CEO Forum (June 11–12, 2026, in Vail), and other professional development opportunities focused on leadership, regulatory updates, and workforce strategies. These gatherings are designed to equip healthcare leaders and staff—including locum tenens providers and recruiters—with insights into emerging trends, policy changes, and networking connections that help support hospital staffing resilience and quality patient care.
