Why this matters

Three numbers that explain why Boulder needs a different model.

77%
Annual caregiver turnover

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.

$936
Avg HSA savings / year

co-op.care membership is HSA-eligible via a physician-issued Letter of Medical Necessity. Josh Emdur DO, BCH hospitalist since 2008, signs every letter. At a 32% bracket, the membership pays for itself.

$25–28
Caregiver wage (W-2 + equity)

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.

What we're building

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.

Bring one neighbor

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.
