The Boulder Wellness Network originated in response to the experiences of residents caring for the aging population in our rural community, recognizing and addressing the gaps in resources and education for caregivers and those in need of assistance.

​

The initiative gained momentum during COVID-19, when Mayor Steve Cox established a COVID task force. This task force mobilized to sew masks for distribution within the community and organized regular Zoom meetings with community leaders to ensure everyone was cared for, kept informed, and connected to vital resources.

​

This experience demonstrated our town's ability to unite and highlighted the need to link programs and services in rural Utah. We understood that we could: Be kind. Be connected. Be informed. Be prepared. Be well. 

​

As a result, we formed a non-profit organization, the Boulder Wellness Network, which connects our community to resources, education, and services that promote health, well-being, and self-advocacy.
