Our Mission

Got Controversy? Got opinions? Got the facts? Well, we definitely do. Many important and challenging issues face today’s society, and each presents its own challenges when it comes to understanding. One of the biggest challenges comes when trying to formulate an opinion or create a solution to these controversial issues, as it can sometimes be difficult to gather the necessary information, and know who to trust. This blog is dedicated to presenting reliable information on controversial topics concerning public health issues in Colorado and around the world, as well as present useful and educational information to everyone. Is it ethical to say a woman cannot breastfeed in public? Are vaccines necessary? What is the Gay Blood Ban? By providing information, we hope that you will be able to form your own opinions and resolve the answers. Feel free to navigate through the posts, and quench your thirst for knowledge!
