Boulder Community Health’s highest priority is to ensure we do everything
within our control to maintain the safety of our patients, staff and the
overall community. This requires us to take every opportunity to contain,
control and reduce the impact of the COVID-19 virus. According to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), limiting public gatherings
is a very effective tool for slowing the spread of COVID-19. We are following
that CDC recommendation and cancelling all non-essential public gatherings
intended for community members. This is effective immediately and includes
Walk with a Doc. We will update this page when walks resume.
In the meantime, we encourage you to get out and walk on your own as frequently
as possible. As a reminder, just 15 minutes of walking a day has many
health benefits and can help prevent disease!
We also encourage you to join us for our Virtual Wellness Series,
Be Well Saturdays. BCH Community Outreach Coordinator and host Gina Simmering, RN and guests
will share a variety of tips on how to stay active, eat healthy and be
well from BCH physicians and some of our wonderful community partners.
Look for new episodes on the second Saturday of each month throughout
the summer via email. To sign up to receive BCH emails including our Be
Well Saturdays series, visit bch.org/signup.
