Critical Access Hospital Licensure - SB24-121 - Comment Reminder

 

To: CAHs, hospitals, and all stakeholders interested in SB24-121 From: HFEMSD Thank you to everyone who participated in stakeholder meetings related to SB24-121 concerning the licensure of Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs). Through meetings held from July 2024 through September 2024, the Department created a draft critical access hospital licensing chapter, 6 CCR 1011-1, Chapter 16, in conjunction with stakeholders.  The Department continues to take written comment on the draft rules. Comments may be submitted via the comment form or sent via email to Ash Jackson at ash.jackson@state.co.us. The draft Chapter 16 is available on the Division’s public google folder for this project. All comments and questions regarding the new licensing chapter to implement SB24-121 are welcome. The Department encourages stakeholders to review the draft of Chapter 16 and submit any and all feedback. Feedback from stakeholders is critical to the success of any stakeholder process and we deeply value your input. The written comment form will be available until April 16, 2025, when the Department anticipates that it will request a rulemaking hearing with the Board of Health. If you would like to receive future communication regarding the critical access hospital licensure stakeholder process, please sign-up for the interested parties list to receive email notifications directly to your inbox.  If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact Ash Jackson at ash.jackson@state.co.us, or Alexandra Haas, at alexandra.haas@state.co.us
