200 Boulder families.
One letter to BCH.
When 200 signatures land, a printed petition goes to Boulder Community Health leadership—from the residents they serve. That conversation unlocks enrollment. Add your name below.
Three numbers that explain why Boulder needs a different model.
The average home care agency loses 3 in 4 caregivers every year. Your parent meets a new stranger every three months. That disruption is not an inconvenience—it is a clinical risk.
co-op.care membership is HSA-eligible via a physician-issued Letter of Medical Necessity. our Chief Medical Officer, a Colorado-licensed physician, signs every letter. At a 32% bracket, the membership pays for itself.
vs. $14–18/hr at traditional agencies. When caregivers earn a living wage and own equity in what they build, they stop leaving. That retention is the entire intervention for your family.
Worker-owned. Physician-supervised. BCH-adjacent. Already serving one Boulder family.
co-op.care is a Colorado Limited Cooperative Association where caregivers own equity in the organization they work for. We already have our first family in Boulder. We need 200 signatures to show Boulder Community Health there is community demand—and to open the partnership conversation that makes a full launch possible. This is specific: 200 names triggers a printed petition hand-delivered to BCH leadership.
- ✓ Caregivers earn $26/hr W-2 + equity. Not contractors. Not gig workers. People who own what they build and stay to protect it.
- ✓ our Chief Medical Officer supervises every care plan. A Colorado-licensed physician. His Letter of Medical Necessity documents membership as medical care when it qualifies under IRS § 213(d).
- ✓ Same caregiver. Every visit. Because ownership means they have a reason to stay—not just a reason to show up once.

No spam. Your email is used to confirm your signature and notify you when we deliver the petition to BCH. Your name and zip code will appear in the public signatures list below. Email is never displayed publicly.
Most of the 200 names will arrive because a neighbor passed this along.
Texting this page to one person — someone caring for a parent, or someone who'd care that Boulder gets this — is the most useful thing you can do after signing.
