Overview

Mission

To provide mental and behavioral health services in Colorado, supporting individuals and families in communities across the state.

What it reported doing in 2024

Throughout the year, diversus health served approximately 11,338 distinct clients, delivering nearly 245,000 units of service. In 2025, diversus health continued to refine the same day access intake process to reduce wait times and enhance overall efficiency. This program allows clients to walk in and receive clinical services on the same day. Much of this service activity reflects the breadth of diversus health's four core service areas-addiction treatment, counseling, crisis management, and psychiatric therapy. These areas encompass a wide range of wellness programs and initiatives that support the diverse needs of our clients.

Operating model

Revenue model

  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and expenses are high relative to revenue.
