Colorado’s suicide rate remains stubbornly high at seventh in the nation. While the causes are not known, lack of access to mental health care is often cited as a possible contributor.
In an effort to show its support for expanded and improved services for those with mental illness, Boulder Community health in 2019 cut the ribbon on one of the most modern mental health care facilities in Colorado.
The $45 million, 70,000 square-foot Della Cava Family Medical Pavilion is part of BCH’s strategic commitment to make Boulder the healthiest community in the country. It includes an 18-bed inpatient behavioral health unit on the top floor, plus a counseling center, an outpaient behavioral health clinic, and a Center for Mind Body Medicine.
