Health Care for the Mountain Community – survey

Posted on: June 18th, 2021

From Shivaun Hoyl

Hello mountain family,

Our mountain community has gotten the attention of Clinica (a federally qualified health center that also operates Peoples in Boulder). They’re looking at putting a clinic up here in western BOCO and/or Gilpin.  Right now they are soliciting information about who may want to seek care up here instead of going to town. If you are comfortable and interested the survey link is below. I know you probably have a care team in town that you see and may loathe to leave, this is simply a fact finding opportunity.

Please feel free to pass this on to anyone who may be interested. 
Below is the information from the Mountain Health Task Force who put together the survey.
Best,
Shivaun

HEALTH CARE CLOSER TO HOME

 
Clinica Family Health is a community health center that provides comprehensive medical, dental, mental health and pharmacy services to families and individuals of all ages and backgrounds. For the past 45 years, they have offered health care to families living in Boulder, Broomfield and Adams counties.
 
Many of you would probably agree that finding health care can be difficult in the mountains. Adverse travel conditions or long drives can discourage people from getting the care they need. Postponing care can have serious consequences, especially for those who are pregnant, sick or dealing with a long-term condition like diabetes or depression. Leaders of western Boulder and Gilpin counties have asked Clinica to explore bringing health care services closer to our homes so we don’t have to make lengthy trips to the doctor. But wanting to respect the wishes of our community, Clinica and the mountain community leaders want to know what you think. Would you like to have health care closer to home? What is most important to you when you choose a health care provider?
 
If Clinica made the commitment to your community to provide health services in Western Boulder and Gilpin counties, would you be interested in utilizing these services for yourself or your family? Please click on the link below to learn more and complete a short survey on bringing health care to the mountain community. And feel free to share this link with your friends and neighbors. Your feedback is vital to Clinica’s decision on whether to expand their services and which services we want most.
