10 Winnable Battles

Bowling Alley x The 10 Winnable Battles are public health and environmental priorities with large-scale impact on health and the environment, and with known, effective strategies to address them.

They were chosen based on the magnitude of the health problems and our ability to make significant progress in improving outcomes.

JCPH believes that by identifying priority strategies and clear targets, and by working closely with our public health partners, we can make significant progress in reducing health disparities and the overall health burden from these diseases and conditions.

Colorado's 10 Winnable Battles were adapted from the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions 10 Winnable Battles to better align them with the unique aspects of the public health issues we are facing.
