Episode 5: Transforming Addiction Treatment With Boulder Care
How a Virtual-First Approach Is Delivering Addiction Care at Scale
Episode Description:
In this episode of The Five Mile Difference, Stephanie Strong, founder and CEO of Boulder Care, shares her journey from the passage of the Affordable Care Act to leading one of the most trusted names in addiction treatment.
The conversation follows her journey through health policy in D.C. , Medicaid reform, and venture investing, culminating in the creation of Boulder: a telehealth platform that has now treated more than 30,000 patients. We explore her patient-first philosophy, how Boulder designed value-based payment models from day one, and the advocacy work that helped overturn restrictive DEA rules.
We discuss:
- Lessons from early ACA and Medicaid policy work
- Building a care model that puts patients first
- Why Boulder started with Medicaid, the hardest segment
- How to build values and culture as you scale
- The future of virtual care and public-private partnership
