The Denver City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2026 amendment to the operating agreement with the Denver Health and Hospital Authority (DHHA). This intergovernmental agreement allocates $69,332,488 from the city to DHHA to fund a wide range of essential medical, public health, and mental health services for residents. The funded services are divided into core and non-core categories, including patient care, emergency medical services, public health clinics, prisoner medical services, and the poison control center. In return, the city will receive approximately $2.94 million from DHHA for services like payroll and legal support. The amendment reflects updated funding levels and adjustments for 2026, including budget updates to seven sections and language changes in ten sections of the agreement.
