The image is a cropped version of the CIVHC (Center for Improving Value in Health Care) logo with a transparent background. It prominently features the acronym "CIVHC" in bold, modern lettering, likely in colors such as blue or green, which are often associated with trust, healthcare, and growth. The design is minimalistic, focusing on the acronym without additional text or graphics, making it versatile for use across different media and backgrounds. The transparent background allows the logo to be placed seamlessly over various colored or textured surfaces while maintaining its professional appearance. The overall look is clean and adaptable, representing CIVHC's commitment to improving healthcare quality and value in Colorado.
