Region’s health care providers
expand to meet demand
Northern Colorado continues to increase in population at a rapid
pace, and with those new residents comes demand for a variety of services,
including health care.

Business Economic Outlook predicts that Education and Health Services
will add the most new jobs statewide during the year, reflecting increased
demand for health care services, particularly among those 65 and older.
Employment in the Health Care and Social Assistance sector increased by
3.5% in 2024, growing from 321,600 workers in 2023 to 333,000 last year.
Growth is projected at 2.5% for 2024, or 8,400 jobs.
