Community petition · Boulder, CO
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.
Why this matters
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. Josh Emdur DO, BCH hospitalist since 2008, 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.
What we're building
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.
