Our mission
- Based in science: Boulder care teams provide comprehensive, evidence-based treatment that is tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals.
- Breaking down barriers: Boulder's proprietary technology suite makes care accessible, and convenient through secure video, phone, and messaging. We're reaching rural communities of the country, where more than 80% of people have little to no access to buprenorphine (Suboxone) prescribers. Boulder provides low-threshold care that is inclusive, empowering, and heavily influenced by participants' stated preferences and goals. Wherever our patients wish to go, we're grateful to go there together.
- Grounded in empathy: Our care is science-based and rooted in harm reduction. Patients, peer recovery specialists, and clinicians make important decisions together.
Boulder Care believes the people who manage our product and team should be representative of those who use the platform.
