Now that the U.S. has officially pulled out of the World Health Organization, Colorado leaders say they are stepping in. Denver7's Anusha Roy reports.
DENVER — Colorado has been accepted into a network of more than 360 institutions as the state seeks to stay ahead of emerging public health threats following the withdrawal of the U.S. from the World Health Organization earlier this year.
“We are thrilled to join the World Health Organization’s GOARN network, especially during a time when federal public health guidance is becoming less consistent,” Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement Wednesday. “Disease does not stop at borders, and this partnership helps ensure Colorado is better prepared to protect people and respond quickly to emerging threats.”

Colorado now joins other states like California, Illinois and New York in sidestepping the nation’s public health agencies to better prepare for potential public health threats.
