I was eating takeout Chinese when a hunk of sesame chicken lodged in my esophagus. At the ER, I had to toss a Pop Rocks–like compound into the back of my throat and chase it with a gulp of water. (Think: dropping Mentos into a Coke bottle.) The volcanic reaction blew the chicken into my stomach where it belonged. Messy, but effective.
I had a flag football accident in college and needed to get seven stitches in my forehead. During the procedure, my girlfriend fainted. They had to stop and attend to her for about 30 minutes. We broke up shortly thereafter

I’ve been to the ER twice for supraventricular tachycardia, which is an arrhythmia that causes the heart to beat really fast (in my case, around 230 beats per minute) due to a disruption in the normal electrical activity. The effect of the treatment has been described to me as a reboot of the heart’s electrical impulses—like rebooting your iPhone. So basically they stop my heart for a second, and then it restarts. It’s not super fun.

If you want to look, feel, and be fit—and continue to support your active lifestyle as you age—essential amino acids (EAAs) are key. They are the catalyst for nearly every physiological function in your body and comprise 50% of your body's solid mass, but what exactly are they?
Because most people are familiar with protein, it’s helpful to think about EAAs in the context of dietary protein.
The reason we need protein is not for the intact proteins themselves but because EAAs are vital for human life, and protein is our source of these life-sustaining compounds.
Our muscles act as “reservoirs” for EAAs that our bloodstream can pull from and disperse to our organs and other critical systems to keep them healthy and functioning properly. This is why when we aren’t getting adequate EAAs from protein, we lose muscle mass.
Additionally, EAAs support many processes that keep us alive and healthy, such as maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, the processing and elimination of fat, cardiovascular health, immune function, sleep and mood regulation, and more.
Because they are the active components of protein that stimulate muscle growth, EAAs also build lean muscle and support overall muscle health.
Essential amino acids also support recovery by reducing the muscle damage from exercise that makes you sore.
When all EAAs are present, the human body can create its own proteins that form muscles, tissues, bones, organs, enzymes, neurotransmitters, etc.—all of which are in a continuous state of turnover (synthesis and breakdown).
And while the overall synthesis and breakdown of proteins in our body’s critical systems is kept in balance, this is not the case for our muscles.
And most importantly for health and fitness, EAAs naturally boost our energy, build lean muscle, and enhance athletic recovery.
Essential amino acids naturally boost energy without caffeine or other stimulants by stimulating cellular energy production, counteracting central fatigue, and preventing muscle fatigue during exercise.
So, what’s the best way to ensure you’re getting enough EAAs? Whole foods should always form the foundation of nutrient intake, but because the EAA content of whole food proteins is less than 50%, supplementing your diet with a high-quality EAA supplement will ensure you’re maximizing your body’s potential for energy, muscle building, and recovery. Kion Aminos contains all EAAs at clinically studied dosages shown to support energy, muscle, and recovery. To learn more, go to
More of us may be typing in our pajamas these days, but our workplaces aren’t any less nerve-wracking. “I’m lucky to have such an easygoing job, but like everyone else, I still have days when I feel stressed,” says Urzua, a 5280 assistant editor. The search for relief led Urzua to write “Feeling The Burnout?” (page 20), which highlights tips for reducing job-related angst.
FROM THE EDITORWhen my son, Tommy, was seven months old, I felt like I could finally relax a little. He had gotten into daycare, work had settled down for a moment, and my wife assured me that they would survive without me for a few days. So, I booked a trip to Las Vegas and prepared to bask in the glow of sunshine by day and neon by night.
It’s not just about polar bears. It’s about us. Sell, a Denver freelance writer, heard that from at least three sources while reporting “Facing Climate Change” (page 42), an in-depth look at how the crisis is affecting our health—and how we can protect ourselves. “The point being,” Sell says, “it’s not just a problem that’s out there. It’s going to impact you and me where we live. In fact, it already does.”
My carefree getaway lasted about four hours: A few minutes after stepping off the plane in Nevada, Tommy’s new teacher called to report that he had a fever of 101.
Walenta, an illustrator based in Warsaw, Poland, was concerned “The 5280 Guide To Emergency Medicine” (page 34) wouldn’t lend itself to his style, which skews humorous. “After all, emergency medicine is a serious topic,” he says. So he was delighted when we asked him to add even more playfulness to his sketches—imbuing what could have been a dire story with an uplifting vibe.
For seven blissful months, we had never been forced to deal with even a sniffle. Now, his brain was melting. Didn’t I recall reading in one of our parenting books that anything above 100 meant I needed to rush him to the emergency department? So why was the daycare provider being so calm?! And why hadn’t my wife answered any of the six calls I had placed to her phone in the past two minutes?!?!
Feeling panicked and powerless, I did what I had already done dozens of times when feeling panicked and powerless since Tommy had been born: I called my sister. A pediatric nurse practitioner, Adriane had talked us through everything from Tommy’s
first bath to Tommy’s first rash. Once again, she calmed my nerves and explained that high fevers in newborns are perfectly normal. I should test him for COVID-19, monitor him at home, and make sure he stayed hydrated. Otherwise, he sounded like a perfectly normal sick kid. Do NOT, she stressed, take Tommy to the emergency department.
Adriane was right, of course. Tommy was himself again in a few days—brain still seemingly intact—and we were spared the inconvenience (not to mention the expense) of the ED.
Navigating the health care system is difficult enough when you’re well. Throw in an emergency—a little blood, a broken bone, a scary fever— and the situation feels like it
could spiral out of control. If only everyone had their own Adriane to help them make the right medical decision.
That’s why we asked freelance writer Julie Dugdale to give you the next best thing: an in-depth guide to Denver-area emergency departments. The resulting feature story, which begins on page 34, provides readers with important insights into how these crisis centers operate and the best ways to use them—from what constitutes an emergency to how to behave once you’re admitted to tips for avoiding sticker shock when the bill arrives. Here’s hoping the story delivers to you even a sliver of the comfort Adriane’s sisterly advice has brought me.

The separation between exercise fits and work ensembles fell to zero during the pandemic, as yoga pants and sweatshirts defined the home office dress code. We soon discovered that athleisure is not only comfy, but also stylish and versatile—able to leap from boardrooms to spin classes to happy hours. Our bling, though? Not so much. Enter OXB.
Founded in 2019, the Denver-based brand’s wares look like everyday jewelry (think: slim chains, simple pendants, elegant hoops) but are designed for exercise. That’s because its baubles are what the company calls sweat-
OXB makes jewelry that can hit the gym as hard as you can.
proof, due to being hypoallergenic and not plated. Plated jewelry, which consists of a base metal coated in a thin layer of gold, typically wears down to a gritty, gray nub after, say, a few steamy HIIT sessions. OXB’s pieces—options include sterling silver, 14-karat solid gold, and gold filled—can last for up to 30 years, says OXB co-founder Laura Treganowan. Even better: Filled jewelry boasts greater gold by volume than plated, so even OXB’s least expensive necklaces (which start around $50) won’t turn your neck a sickly shade of green or incite a nasty rash if worn too long.
That’s important because OXB wants to be more than an accessory in its customers’ lives. Treganowan, a fitness instructor, and co-founder Maggie Kyle, a metalworker, opened a brick-andmortar location in RiNo in 2021 where customers can buy and customize their favorite OXB pieces, including this past fall’s Essentials collection, a line that includes stackable chains and bangles. But on special occasions, the boutique also transforms into a pop-up fitness studio, welcoming a rotating cast of local instructors. “We saw [in the store] a lot of opportunities for face-to-face, in-person interactions,” Kyle says. “It’s brought the brand to real life.”
—SPENCER CAMPBELLColoradans are embracing more sustainable funeral options.
Dying
It’s
the Earth. Burials result in the interment of more than 800,000 gallons of formaldehyde in the United States every year, according to a study in the Berkeley Planning Journal. Traditional cremation might be better for Mother Nature, but ashes can’t nourish the soil. Water cremation, however, gives new life to the dearly departed while also helping flowers, trees, and other flora thrive.
At least that’s how Eric Rooney explains the growing popularity of his water cremation service. By trade, Rooney is a death worker, a sort of caretaker for those who are dying and their loved ones; he helps ease the formers’ transitions and helps the latter process their grief. Since 2021, he’s partnered with Be A Tree Cremation to provide water cremation services. While traditional cremation creates over 500 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, water cremation dissolves the body using a solution of alkaline chemicals aided by warm water. Within 18 hours, the body is reduced to a nutrient-rich liquid (the skeleton remains but is pulverized into powder).
Rooney then uses part of the mixture as nourishment at Half Moon Farm, the Lakewood flower farm he’s owned since 2020. (The family receives the remainder.) As
of November 2022, Rooney had returned more than 200 people to the earth.
Water cremation isn’t the only way deceased Coloradans are attempting to leave this world better off than they found it. In 2021, Colorado became the second state in the country to legalize human composting, a service that Rooney now offers. Companies including the Natural Funeral in Lafayette insulate bodies in a special box for six months, facilitating their
transition into a different kind of organic material. At Colorado Burial Preserve, a 65-acre green cemetery in Florence that also opened in 2021, bodies are buried in plain wooden boxes, in biodegradable shrouds, or au naturel—and never underneath a tombstone. “People want something natural,” Rooney says. “They want to be connected to flowers, to the trees, every bit of nature, and they want to be in the soil.” —SC

Colorado’s nursing shortage is not new, but the pandemic deepened the crisis. Long hours, heightened stress, and unsupportive work environments are leading to increased burnout, with one study estimating that the state’s gap of around 6,000 nurses could rise to 10,000 by 2026. But this emergency hasn’t gone unnoticed. Here are three efforts underway to combat it.
—CHRIS WALKER
As an emergency room nurse, state Senator Kyle Mullica knows the challenges front-line health care workers face. That’s why the Northglenn Democrat sponsored and helped pass two bills during the 2022 regular session. One set aside a portion of $61 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds to make community college free for aspiring nurses and other medical technicians through 2024. The other mandates that hospitals create committees to better manage workloads and combat burnout.
Each year, tens of thousands of qualified applicants to U.S. nursing schools are turned away due, in part, to a lack of faculty. That’s because teachers make an average of $33,000 less than full-time nurses. This past fall, the Metropolitan State University of Denver upped all of its instructors’ pay by $2,100. MSU Denver has also reached out to six past pupils to work with current students in the school’s skills and simulation lab, thereby exposing alums to teaching without them having to sacrifice their full-time gigs (and salaries).
HealthOne, the largest health care system in the Denver area, is empowering nurses through continued education, team building, and leadership training. At its Center for Clinical Advancement in Englewood, an average of 135 industry professionals each week receive simulated trainings via high-tech mannequins who mimic real-life patients. Meanwhile, HealthOne’s Mobile Training Center travels to mainly rural hospitals in Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, and Nebraska to teach advanced pediatric treatments.
What residents of Adams, Arapahoe, and Douglas counties should expect from the dissolution of the TriCounty Health Department.
People rarely notice their local public health departments—at least, until a pandemic comes along. That was the case for the Tri-County Health Department, which had served Adams, Arapahoe, and Douglas counties since 1948 but dissolved at the end of 2022 after its mask mandates caused fissures between leaders of the three local governments. It will be replaced by new, individual agencies for each county. What does that mean for residents? The departments will have to staff up quickly. Glen Mays, professor and chair of the Department of Health Systems, Management & Policy at the Colorado School of Public Health at CU Anschutz, expects the agencies to prioritize hiring for programs that generate revenue, such as licensing and inspections. What might suffer are functions that don’t make money, including data collection: surveying citizens, monitoring medical records, and tracking emergency department visits in the hope of catching emerging threats. You know, like COVID-19, whose arrival in the United States was first recognized by Seattle public health officials. “But that’s also how we detect even routine things like foodborne disease outbreaks—if we have an E. coli outbreak,” Mays says. “[Data collection] is the brain of the agency that helps us figure out what’s going on, health-wise, in the community.”
For Adams, Arapahoe, and Douglas, the hope is that three heads will eventually be better than one. —SC

The solution to your slumber woes may be in your head.
You’ve likely heard the promises before: Fall asleep faster, relax deeper, wake up easier. But chances are the products that made those claims never looked like this. Earable Neuroscience—cofounded by a University of Colorado Boulder computer science professor and Children’s Hospital Colorado doctor—spent almost a decade figuring out how to deliver a sleep clinic to your bedroom. The result is Frenz Brainband, a mind-reading headband that, let’s be honest, looks like a futuristic version of the headgear you had to wear to bed every night as a teenager. Debuting this month at CES (an annual consumer electronics trade show, which has already honored the product with an innovation award), Frenz features sensors for your forehead and a superconductor above your ears that, together, monitor brainwaves, heart rate, breathing, oxygen
levels, eye movements, and facial micromovements to get an idea of your cognitive function. It then reacts to signs of sleep distress by playing curated audio content, such as rain sounds, white noise, or guided meditations, through a bone conduction speaker that transmits to your ears only. Looks aside, the fact that Frenz operates on its own initiative to treat your sleep troubles is what differentiates it from other sleep wearables, says Kimi Doan, chief growth officer at Earable. Well, that and its results: During a companyconducted test of more than 1,000 “tricky sleepers,” 86 percent of participants fell asleep faster using Frenz, while people spent 19 fewer minutes, on average, tossing and turning. Earable believes fitful snoozers will gladly pay Frenz’s $599 price tag to experience similarly serene slumber. —MALISSA RODENBURG
Frenz’s sensors monitor electrical activity in different parts of the brain.
Earable says Frenz differentiates from other trackers by not only recording sleep patterns, but also responding to them.
Earable’s longterm goal is to use AI to enhance human intelligence. Frenz is its first product.
Frenz weighs slightly more than three grams and is made of cushiony material.
Igrew up on California’s Donner Pass, near Lake Tahoe, so I’ve been skiing—both in water and on snow—since I was two. I was a golden girl; I never thought about the dangers of the sun. But as you get older, you get educated, and I’ve been careful. I wear sunscreen. I wear hats. I get my yearly skin checks. I felt like I was doing everything I needed to do to protect myself so I could enjoy Colorado’s beautiful outdoors.
Then, early in 2022, I was having problems with my scalp. It was fine, but on the way out the door—my hand was literally on the knob—I said to my doctor, “I’ve seen these age spots rise up on my skin. What can we do about this one on my nose?” Spoiler alert: It wasn’t just an age spot. I got the biopsy in late May, in between my son’s eighth-grade graduation festivities, and a week later a doctor called and told me it was basal cell carcinoma. The words hit me hard.
The good news is that I didn’t have melanoma, which, if it metastasizes, has about a 20 percent five-year survival rate. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common kind of skin cancer (nearly four million Americans are diagnosed every year) and isn’t fatal, but the doctor still wanted to remove it through surgery. “If it’s slow-growing and not going to kill me,” I asked the doctor, “why do you want to cut up my face?” (I’m on TV, you know.) True, it wouldn’t kill me. But left untreated, the cancer would become an open wound on my face.
The doctors told me I’d need two procedures on one day. The first, called a Mohs surgery, involves cutting a tiny horizontal section of the skin, testing it for cancer, and then cutting incrementally deeper until the margins around the spot are clear of cancer. They thought it would take an hour. I was there for four, because they needed to make three cuts and the surgeon found a second cancer between my eyes. The second procedure was reconstructive surgery. When I showed up to the plastic surgeon, part of my little nose—which I really liked! was missing, so he had to cut a piece of my ear cartilage out to put in my nose so it wouldn’t collapse.
•
I didn’t know if this was going to be a profession ender for me. I mean, I looked like the Bride of Frankenstein. It would be months before I really looked like myself again. When I posted a photo to social media, one guy wrote, “Well, I guess we’ll call that a career.”
But besides that jerk, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Everywhere I go, somebody comes up to me and tells me they had this same surgery. I had no clue skin cancer was such a thing here: In Colorado, 21.9 people out of 100,000 get skin cancer every year, according to the Colorado Health Institute, which is slightly more than the national average (19.7). That number skyrockets in
higher-elevation communities, where ultraviolet rays are stronger. The rates in Pitkin, Gunnison, Garfield, Eagle, and Chaffee counties, for example, are all above 30.
So many people have this and don’t talk about it. They hide out in their homes while they recover—like I did. But at least 200 people have gotten their skin checked because my photo scared them. The picture, which is hard to look at, seemed to push them to action—and it’s such an easy appointment. Ten minutes in a dermatologist’s office. You can be isolated and depressed and think you’re never going to get back to your life, and I’m here to say, Yes, you can. I have a weirdlooking nose. But I’m OK. —AS TOLD
Qiana Torres Flores helps restaurant workers at Bonanno Concepts get a handle on work-related stress—and she has ideas for you too.
If you’ve ever waited tables, flipped a burger, or tried to quell a hungry mob at the host stand, you know the food industry can be stressful. It’s no wonder, then, that Bonanno Concepts—purveyor of 10 Denverarea restaurants, including Mizuna and French 75—discovered during an employee survey that many of its workers wanted more mental health resources. So, in September 2021, Bonanno hired Qiana Torres Flores as the company’s first wellness director. A licensed professional counselor, Torres Flores provides free individual counseling sessions and teaches coping skills. But her wisdom extends beyond the restaurant business—which is why we asked Torres Flores for tips to reduce stress in any field. —BARBARA URZUA
“The first thing I ask someone when they say they’re stressed out from work is, ‘How is your routine?’ ”
Torres Flores says. A regular day-to-day schedule eliminates anxiety that comes with the unknown. Start by sticking to consistent bedtimes and wake-up calls and eating meals at roughly the same times every day.
The next time you receive a Slack message that sends your blood pressure skyrocketing, take three deep breaths and focus on how you’re feeling in the moment. If such woowoo exercises aren’t your style, simply respond to adverse feelings by sitting in silence away from your screen, even in your car, for a few minutes to help you feel grounded again.
Don’t be scared to go to your boss if your workload is overwhelming you. If there’s something your co-workers can do to reduce your stress levels, ask them for help too. “Our leaders and peers can’t read our minds,” Torres Flores says. “We’re more likely to get what we need in the workplace if we actually ask for it.”
Creating a positive space for mental health doesn’t just fall to workers. “One thing that employees really want is to have a relationship with the folks who run the operation,” Torres Flores says. At Bonanno Concepts, Torres Flores encourages managers to check in with staff using meat metaphors, ranging from rare (“I’m doing great”) to well done (“I’m really struggling”).
In 2022, Colorado placed last in Mental Health America’s rankings of states based on access to treatment. We spoke with Vincent Atchity, president and CEO of Mental Health Colorado, to find out how to increase your odds of finding a provider.
—JENNY MCCOYA shortage of mental health care professionals means providers can have wait lists for new patients that range from 60 to 90 days. “Try and seek care before things become critical,” Atchity says. As with all kinds of health, preventive intervention is the most effective treatment for mental health issues, he says.
Group sessions can be very effective for people with specific needs, such as those recovering from substance abuse and parents of kids with special needs. Plus, they’re often less expensive and easier to access than one-on-one sessions. (Mental Health Colorado’s website features a directory of organizations that might be able to connect you with a group.)
Many private practice therapists don’t take insurance due to low reimbursement rates and difficulties in dealing with insurance companies, and the average cost of out-of-pocket care in Colorado is around $130 per hour. However, some practitioners offer sliding fees based on patients’ incomes.

Can Denver’s Tepeyac Community Health Center meet the financial demands of its new 24,500-squarefoot facility while still treating its patients like family?
n the early 1990s, Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, a large Catholic parish in Denver’s Northside that’s a hub for local Latinos, faced a crisis. Nearly every day, people come to the office asking for help with medical or mental health, the pastor at the time told the parish council, and we don’t have anything to offer. Is anyone willing to take the lead on this issue? Jim Garcia, attending his first meeting of the church’s leadership group, raised his hand.
Back then, Garcia worked for Tim Wirth, a Democratic U.S. senator from Colorado. “It wasn’t like I had a health care background,” Garcia says. “But I did have an understanding of the issue from the policy level…. It turned out to be a lot more than I imagined.”
The church owned a run-down two-bedroom, 800-square-foot bungalow in the Highland neighborhood that could potentially serve as a free clinic, but bids to renovate the century-old house came in around $150,000. Garcia’s budget was $10,000. So, he stood up at a Sunday service and asked for volunteers. “More than 100 people showed up,” Garcia says. And they kept showing up, often working construction jobs by day and laboring at the clinic into the night.
Meanwhile, Wirth decided not to run for re-election in 1992. Garcia took it as a sign and poured himself into the project for a year, getting by on savings and financial support from his then fiancé, now wife, Gloria Padilla de Garcia. An accountant, Padilla de Garcia managed the clinic’s finances for free for the first five or so years. “I
consider her a co-founder,” Garcia says.
But what to call the clinic? Inspiration struck when the couple attended a Latin American folk art exhibit at the Denver Art Museum. A video told the story of how Our Lady of Guadalupe, an incarnation of Jesus’ mother, appeared before a poor man on Tepeyac Hill outside of Mexico City in the mid16th century, bringing the promise of love, protection, and healing. Tepeyac has become one of the most visited Catholic shrines in the world. Garcia turned to his wife: “What a great name.”
In January 1995, the Tepeyac Community Health Center opened its doors to patients. Since then, it
has evolved into an essential resource for the nearby neighborhoods of Globeville and Elyria-Swansea (GES), offering primary care (from annual exams to mammograms); behavioral health counseling for individuals, couples, and families; and dental care (including cleanings and more advanced procedures, such as extractions and fillings). Garcia has been there every step of the way. Even after getting a day job at the Denver Housing Authority, he served on Tepeyac’s board of directors; he never received a dime for his time until he became Tepeyac’s full-time CEO in 2011.
This month, Garcia will lead Tepeyac through its most significant transition yet: a move to a new 24,500-square-foot facility at the corner of 48th Avenue and Vine Street in Elyria-Swansea, part of an ambitious development project that also includes affordable housing units, a fresh food shop called Noir Market, and the restaurant Tacos El Huequito. Garcia’s challenge? To stay true, in the face of gentrification, to the original vision of the clinic as a welcoming place that values patients and their cultures. “It’s appropriate that our first clinic was a very
modest home,” Garcia says. “Our driving philosophy was—and is—that we want our patients to feel as though they are honored guests in our home as opposed to a number that needs to be dealt with.”
DURING A TOUR THIS PAST FALL, Tepeyac’s new high-ceilinged, light-filled clinic was in the last stages of construction, but Garcia talked about the empty rooms as if they were already bustling. The 60-year-old pointed out the areas for family medicine, mental health, dentistry, labs, X-rays, and pharmacy. Big windows in the community room overlooked a landscaped courtyard and playground. He described the brightly colored walls and couches that would soon line the main corridor. “It’s meant to feel like home,” Garcia says.
Jim Garcia has helped lead Tepeyac since the clinic’s founding in a Highland home.
Tepeyac may strive to keep the spirit of its original location alive, but the clinic itself has become much larger. The turning point came in 2016. Before then, Tepeyac had moved into a bigger, nearly 6,000-square-foot facility in Globeville thanks to fundraising and a grant from the Office of Economic Development. Then, seven years ago, the clinic became a Federally Qualified Health

Center (FQHC), making it eligible for reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid, as well as other perks. At the same time, Tepeyac started to take private insurance too. (Even today, however, about 65 percent of its patients are uninsured.) The injection of insurance revenue fueled bigger dreams. Garcia began talking to community partners about a facility with expanded services that would still take all comers.
Tepeyac follows an integrated health model, where people can access most health services under one roof. “It’s a whole body, whole person approach,” chief health officer Dr. Pamela Valenza says, “where maybe instead of starting a medication, we can treat someone with therapy.” Staff members call patients who have gaps in care or miss preventive screenings. “There have been patients that have come in with the idea that community health centers are less than or don’t provide as good of care as private practices or big-name health centers,” Valenza says. But Tepeyac ranks
in the top 30 percent of all FQHCs in the country, based on 14 federal quality measures—such as childhood immunization status and control of high blood pressure— that focus on prevention.
Miguel, co-director of the nonprofit GES Coalition Organizing for Health and Housing Justice, has her choice of providers through private insurance, but she goes to Tepeyac. The clinic is conve-

nient to where she lives and works, and she says Tepeyac has a higher quality of care than other options nearby. “The interactions with the care providers are just so much better than I was getting at other places,” Miguel says. “It’s more personal.”
Tepeyac has managed to achieve that success despite serving one of the most polluted zip codes in the country. The area is part of the Vasquez Boulevard and I-70 Superfund site, which is contaminated by toxic chemicals such as lead and arsenic left behind by smelting and refining plants, and it suffers from poor air quality due to its proximity to major highways. In addition, the GES neighborhoods are a food desert: U.S. Department of Agriculture data show that a significant number of low-income residents lack access to fresh and affordable foods.
Tepeyac currently employs around 70 staff members. That includes 11 medical providers who care for almost 4,000 patients each year; within two years, Valenza expects those numbers to double. By 2027, she predicts the clinic will serve 12,000 patients. The expanded reach won’t only benefit GES. A Tepeyac analysis shows that by reducing emergency department visits and hospitalizations as well as warding off complications from chronic conditions, Tepeyac already saves the health care system $6 million each year. Those savings are projected to grow with the expanded clinic—as will, hopefully, the overall wellness of GES residents, who have some of the highest rates of cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, and asthma in Denver. A resident of the affluent Hilltop neighborhood is expected to live 13 years longer than one from Globeville, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment.
AS GARCIA AND I WALK along 48th Avenue toward the new development, he talks about the community the clinic serves, which is mostly working class and Hispanic. “This is a traditionally underserved community, and I mean that literally,” Garcia says. “We just got these sidewalks last year.”
A tight Denver housing market combined with two major infrastructure projects—the $1.3 billion Central 70 project and the $1 billion expansion of the National Western Center—have made the GES neighborhoods especially attractive to real estate investors over the past few years, resulting in “massive displacement,” Miguel says.

for generations just can’t afford it anymore. The development Tepeyac is joining intends to bring stability to the area.
The project dates to 2014, when the city approached the Urban Land Conservancy (ULC), a Denver-based nonprofit focused on creating equitable communities through affordable real estate, about buying the sixacre industrial site with the proviso that at least 51 percent of future development go toward affordable housing. (The two-acre development that includes Tepeyac represents the first phase of the project.) ULC brought in Atlanta real estate developer Columbia Ventures to help.

One of the most important aspects of the deal, ULC president and CEO Aaron Miripol says, is that ULC is renting the land to Tepeyac and Columbia Ventures through a 99-year lease that ensures the property will remain affordable, no matter how high real estate prices rise. “It’s about stewardship,” Miripol says. “Because we own the land, we’re protecting not just the city’s investment, but also the community’s investment in what they wanted to see here.”
Garcia is also thinking about stewardship. He realizes that at some point in the not-too-distant future, it will become someone else’s turn to shepherd Tepeyac. But the larger facility will entail higher operational costs, and Garcia doesn’t plan to leave until he’s sure that the center is financially sustainable. Part of the additional revenue will come from helping more eligible people sign up for Medicaid and OmniSalud, a new program from the Colorado health insurance marketplace that provides plans for immigrants lacking permanent legal status. The staff will also have to maintain its grant writing and philanthropic outreach. “It’s a challenge,” Garcia says. Especially as the larger facility—located near the intersection of I-70 and I-25, a light-rail station, and two bus routes—is poised to serve even more Denver residents in need.
On the exterior of the new clinic, a kaleidoscope of butterflies painted by Denver graffiti artist Jeremy Silas Ulibarri, aka Jolt, arcs along the side of the building. The mural, Garcia says, “is emblematic of this community that has so much cultural beauty and strength and resiliency.” It seems to celebrate enduring life. Says Garcia: “We have to be around for the long term.”

Last year, about one in six Centennial Staters visited an emergency department, despite the fact that more than a third of respondents to a 2019 Colorado Health Institute survey believed the maladies that landed them there could have been treated by a nonemergency doctor. Why is the ED so confusing? We asked local physicians for insight into that question—as well as 10 other queries that routinely pop up when crises arise.
By Julie Dugdale • Illustrations by Tomasz WalentaDr. Eric Hill, the emergency medical services director at the Medical Center of Aurora, outlines a few of the acute complaints that could lead to a visit to an emergency department (most places don’t call themselves “emergency rooms” anymore).
“This is a potentially lifethreatening issue,” says Hill, who recommends defaulting to an ED. His caveat: If the symptoms are consistent with something you’ve experienced before, like asthma, and can reasonably be treated with medication or at an urgent care clinic, you don’t have to hightail it to the hospital.
Is the numbness in one side or both sides of the body? “With strokes, we’re most worried when you have unilateral symptoms [affecting one side of the body],” Hill says. Weakness, trouble walking, or speech disturbance can also be signs of a stroke. In that case, call 911 immediately. “There is a time window where we have the ability to do thrombolytic medication to dissolve the clots,” Hill says. Another tool for recognizing (and acting on)
To help consumers make informed decisions about their care, the Colorado Hospital Association and its member hospitals and medical systems created the Where for Care campaign. The following chart is a condensed version of the initiative’s educational core. (When in doubt, though, doctors say go to the ED.)
stroke symptoms: F.A.S.T. (facial drooping, arm weakness, speech disturbance, time to call 911).
“If [the cut] is spurting or a brisk
bleed, that’s probably arterial, and that needs to be seen by, preferably, an ED,” Hill says. But if it’s controlled yet continues to ooze after you apply pressure, an urgent care center can probably
fix you up. For deep, gaping, or complex facial wounds, a hospital ED is likely the best choice because they have specialists on-site who can minimize scarring when they do the repair.

What constitutes a behavioral health emergency—and what to do about it.
Internal scars can affect emotional and mental well-being and, sometimes, manifest as mental health crises—conditions that may be less visually apparent than a broken arm or respiratory infection but are sometimes just as emergent. Here, Heidi Bode, the manager of crisis assessment at Porter Adventist Hospital in Denver, outlines how to identify those who might be experiencing a behavioral health emergency as well as how to help them.
Those with chronic mental illnesses who are having a psychotic episode. “Sometimes,” Bode says, “with that psychosis, there can be hallucination...compelling [people] to do something that could be a danger to themselves or the general population.”
Those who have thoughts or compulsions to hurt or kill themselves. Self-harm has been particularly prevalent in recent years among Colorado’s youth and young adults: In 2021, mental health crisis was the top complaint at the Children’s Hospital Colorado ED.
Those with substance abuse disorders. Frequently, says Bode, these folks tend to have concurrent mental health diagnoses and instead of medicating will lean on alcohol or drugs to bury certain feelings in the moment.
Contact Colorado Crisis Services (CCS). The statewide response system is a great starting point to determine next steps; Bode encourages everyone to program its contact info (text “TALK” to 38255 or call 1-844493-8255) into their phones.

About a year and a half ago, I couldn’t make my hand type the simple word “t-o-o.” I tried a few times. Frozen on my right side, I made myself fall backward on the couch and thought, I have one shot. I put my fingers to my mouth and whistled. My husband came running. I said, “I’m having a stroke.”
I could see the wheels turning while he was thinking about calling an ambulance. Instead, he drove me five minutes to Swedish Southwest ER [a freestanding ED in Littleton]. By the time we got there, I couldn’t talk or move much. An intravenous procedure to clear the clot didn’t work, and they loaded me onto a helicopter to Swedish Medical Center.
I was off the helicopter, into the surgery room, and having further brain treatment within eight minutes. The entire time from my symptoms to getting to the remote ED to getting to Swedish was maybe an hour and 20 minutes. If my husband had come down an hour later and thought I was napping, I would have been dead. That made all the difference. Now, I’m 96 percent back to normal. If it’s your heart, you’d want to call the ambulance, because they can start treatment on the way. But my husband knew he could get me to the ED quicker by driving, and when it comes to a stroke, time is brain.

Do: Have some grace. “Almost all emergency departments in town are experiencing some level of staffing stress,” says Dr. Kelli Lewis, medical director at Intermountain Healthcare Saint Joseph Hospital Northglenn Emergency Department. In fact, a 2021 study projects Colorado to have a deficit of more than 10,000 registered nurses and 54,000 lower-wage health care workers (such as medical and nursing assistants) by 2026. “Currently, wait times are longer than any of us want them to be,” Lewis says, “but it’s not that we’re back there having pizza.”
Don’t: Record and post your experience. “Most hospitals have policies against social media,” Lewis says, because “it makes staff super uncomfortable.” Adds Matt Mendenhall, chief medical officer of Centura’s Littleton Adventist Hospital: “It’s a highly litigious world we work in. You’re going to raise anxiety and stress levels of your doctors, nurses, and teams.”
Do: “Be exceptionally truthful with your physician,” Lewis says. If you omit a certain drug you are taking to combat hair loss, for example, your doctor might prescribe a medication that interacts poorly with it, wreaking even more havoc on your bodily functions. “Plus, a lot of hospitals are on the same chart system,” Lewis says. “So, chances are we’ll find it in your chart even if you don’t tell us.”
Don’t: Bring a fan club. Well-intentioned family can be distracting—dare we say, overbearing?—and add to the stress.
“Try to pare it down to one loved one versus two or three,” says Adia Bess, a registered nurse and director of emergency services at North Suburban Medical Center. “Do your best to keep kids at home, though we understand that not everyone can do this.”
Do: “Thank the team that’s taking care of you,” Mendenhall says. “There is a very good chance they’ve not stopped to eat, drink, or use the bathroom in hours.”
Don’t: Eat in the waiting room or wear strong scents or perfumes. “Typically, patients who come in are not feeling well,” Bess says. “People may have headaches, feel dizzy, have GI issues, or might be vomiting.” The last thing they need is a whiff of your Drakkar Noir.
I was working in the ED on the night shift. It was 6 o’clock in the morning, I’d been up all night, and I get paged into a room. You always get a little thump in your heart, thinking, What am I going to walk into? And there is a guy with a boa constrictor that has bitten him on his hand and coiled around his arm, and his hand is blue. His roommate’s snake had crawled into his bed because he was warm. The patient is yelling, “Get it off, get it off, get it off!” And I’m standing there, like...OK I know a boa constricts—that’s how it kills. They don’t have venom. So I uncoiled the snake, but I couldn’t figure out how to get it to let go of the hand. I called the fire department, which had an animal handler. He said, “What you need to do is pull the snake across the room, grab his tail, and yank hard on it.” It’s probably a six-foot snake. And it’s hissing. The guy keeps yelling, “Cut its head off!” But that’s not fair to the snake. I pulled the snake—I’m yanking and yanking—and it finally let go. I took care of his bite, put the snake in a box, and gave it back to his roommate. —Dr. Diane Barta, emergency medicine physician and medical director at Colorado Health Neighborhoods, Centura
First-come, first-served isn’t the way emergency care works.
It might not seem fair, but ED patients aren’t typically treated in the order they arrive. “We triage based on acuity and needs,” says Matt Mendenhall of Littleton Adventist Hospital. “That’s a constantly changing calculation. Wait times can fluctuate in an instant.” However, UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora has garnered acclaim for reimagining front-end workflow to prevent unnecessary waiting. Instead of being assigned a waiting room spot based on how severe their problems are, patients are seen immediately by an attending physician and sent through the appropriate channels based on their needs, so patient flow is never stagnant. The results? The median door-to-provider time at University Hospital is less than seven minutes.
Freestanding EDs provide more services than urgent cares— at much higher prices.
Over the past 10 years, the metro area has seen a proliferation of freestanding emergency departments (FSEDs): facilities that are staffed by physicians who offer 24/7 care but are not physically attached to hospitals. The problem is that patients often mistake FSEDs for urgent care centers. “So people were getting hit with these [big] bills when they only needed two stitches in their finger,” says Kelli Christensen, UCHealth’s manager of public and media relations. Critics argue that the confusion isn’t completely unintended.
A 2018 analysis by the Colorado Health Institute shows that FSEDs are clustered in affluent neighborhoods, where residents are more likely to have insurance that pays providers at higher rates than Medicaid. From
state health officials’ view, this high concentration of FSEDs meant patients across the board were seeking costlier ED care rather than going to urgent or primary care centers, even though in many cases the latter would be more appropriate and less expensive. And all that was driving up costs for Medicaid and other insurers.
So, that same year, Colorado legislators passed a law requiring FSEDs to post signage explaining their emergency status and fee menus on their websites, along with other disclosures. In 2021, the state went even further by offering incentive payments for hospitals to convert their FSEDs—there were 44 statewide, according to a 2020 study in Western Journal of Emergency Medicine—into other types of facilities, such as primary care or behavioral
health clinics. (Some have since converted, though not necessarily due to the incentives, according to the Colorado Hospital Association, which notes that some FSEDs closed during the pandemic when hospitals needed to redirect resources to expand in-hospital capacities for COVID-19 care.) And this past July, Colorado required that FSEDs acquire their own licensure, creating new, independent guidelines.
“There’s a whole lot of political discussions around freestandings,” says Dr. Kelly Bookman, emergency medicine physician and senior medical director of UCHealth Emergency Medicine. “But by definition, go to an ED if you think you have an emergency. As a layperson, I wouldn’t think twice about [which one]. Just get in front of a doctor.”

You shouldn’t be surprised by your bill.
It seems like everyone’s been there: You slip on an icy sidewalk during the winter and sprain a wrist, so you sprint to your local emergency department. A couple of months later, a bill for $2,000 shows up. What? But I’m insured!
Ah, but did you visit an innetwork ED? And even if you did go in-network, you might’ve been hit with “balance billing,” which happens when you’re treated—usually unbeknownst to you—by an out-of-network doctor at an in-network facility. The provider sends you the balance of the bill your insurance doesn’t pay. Voilà, sticker shock. Fortunately, both state and federal legislation have been passed in the last few years to, in theory, prevent surprise billing like this: If you go to an innetwork facility, you should now only be charged in-network costs, even if your emergency provider is out-of-network. If you are not insured, ask for a “good faith estimate” before you receive care; if your subsequent bill is more than $400 above that approximation, that is grounds for dispute.
Of course, carve-outs remain. Exhibit A: interfacility ambulance transport. Should you arrive at an FSED but need advanced treatment only available at the main hospital, you may be on the hook for your ambulance transfer if you’re not specifically classified an emergency. Furthermore, the new rules only cover transfers via private ambulances; if you are loaded into a vehicle connected to a city or county government, like a fire department ambulance, the hefty surprise charges can (legally) rain down.
Virtual care isn’t just for primary care anymore.
Some hospital systems offer urgent care via video, though the range of problems that can be treated remotely is limited. Nevertheless, providers say virtual care can be a cost-effective and less time-consuming way to triage cases such as urinary tract infections, pinkeye, or a common cough. “Patients are really good at navigating this,” says Michael Breyer, emergency medicine physician and director of the Adult Urgent Care Center at Denver Health. Plus, virtual features like HealthOne’s online Symptom Checker ask patients a set of questions about their symptoms to determine what avenue of care they should seek.
Vincent Plymell, assistant commissioner for communications and outreach for the Colorado Division of Insurance (DOI), suggests three ways to be a savvier health care consumer.
1. Do your homework— even before you find yourself in an emergency—by discovering where your plan lives online and how to log in to the website. Find the table of contents and then familiarize yourself with your plan’s emergency care section. “It’s important to know how things are dealt with, even on an in-network basis,” Plymell says. For example, some folks will call him and say, “The bill I just got violates this new no-surprises law.” Says Plymell: “What they don’t realize is that they still have to pay their deductibles.”
2. If something does seem off with your bill, call Colorado’s DOI Consumer Services team at 303-894-7490 or email dora_ insurance@state.co.us. The DOI doesn’t regulate all plans—its jurisdiction covers Connect for Health Colorado and small and large group plans. (Check for the “CO-DOI” abbreviation printed on your insurance card.) Even if your insurance isn’t protected by the DOI, though, the agency can provide advice for dealing with your provider. And if the DOI receives an abundance of complaints about the same company, the agency might investigate them: This past spring, a DOI inquiry led to a fine for Bright Health after the insurer repeatedly failed to pay claims correctly and on time.
3. Ask the DOI questions about your situation before going down the rabbit hole of filing a formal complaint about your insurance company with the DOI, which sets off a 20day reply window that can be frustrating. (The DOI mandates insurers respond to its requests for information within 20 days, which can end up taking so long you forget what you were even upset about.) By asking questions up front, the DOI can help you figure out if there’s a way to solve your problem in days instead of weeks.
We came in at 6 p.m. for an overnight shift, and the day shift told us it had been pretty quiet. It was kind of foretelling. By 6:20 we got our first call from the southeastern part of the state; I think they had four out of the 12 transfers we did that night. So we’re having to facilitate getting multiple helicopters into that one area and make sure they’re all deconflicting with each other—it’s like musical helicopters.
One request was for a pregnancy transfer. The crew we’d normally send was already responding elsewhere, so we had to get our on-call administrators involved to make sure it was appropriate to send a primary care team versus a high-risk obstetrics team. During all of that, the crew on a separate transport with a patient onboard heard a rattle on its aircraft and had to do an emergency landing. It’s a constant tally list of the highest priority thing we need to do at that moment.
On my drive home the next morning, I was probably about 20 minutes from my house, and I had a serious debate with myself: Should I pull over and take a nap right here? There is a lot of mental fatigue that happens on a shift like that. —Leah Smith, AirLife Denver communications manager, based at the Medical Center of Aurora–North Campus
As temperatures become hotter, droughts drag on, and wildfires grow more extreme, our bodies endure a rising toll. In fact, the World Health Organization calls climate change “the biggest health threat facing humanity.” What does that risk look like in Colorado? And how do we address it? We spoke to public health officials and climate experts from around the state to find out.

Pollution obscures the Denver skyline.
The climate crisis is real—and it poses serious consequences for your health.
In the mid-2000s, Dr. Jay Lemery became alarmed by the growing conflict between politicians and scientists over climate change. When he started looking into how doctors were reacting to the developing crisis, he was even more dismayed to discover that few health care professionals were wise to the health stressors of a warming world. So Lemery, now a wilderness and emergency medicine physician at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, took up the cause himself. “My jam became to mobilize the clinical community,” he says, “both as advocates but also as practitioners of health.”
That’s how Lemery came to write (with his late mentor, Dr. Paul Auerbach) Enviromedics, one of the first books to explain how environmental changes will harm our overall wellness. The same year, Lemery created the Climate & Health Science Policy Fellowship at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus, a one-year intensive program that equips board-certified physicians to advocate for climate-change-informed health policy. This past fall, Lemery and the CU Anschutz Medical Campus doubled down by launching the Diploma in Climate Medicine, a 300-hour program for working health care practitioners who want a holistic understanding
of the climate breakdown’s ramifications for human well-being.
The curriculum arrived on the heels of this past summer’s nearly global heat waves, which pushed mercury readings well above average across the globe—and in Colorado. According to a 2014 report from Western Water Assessment, the Centennial State’s average annual temperatures over the preceding three decades had increased by about two degrees and could balloon by up to five more by 2050, leading to a rise in heat-related illnesses and deaths.
Then there’s the Front Range’s notoriously poor air quality, an increase in the size and number of wildfires, and the impact that ecological change has on our mental health as we cope with new realities. “A lot of conversations in the climate policy space in Colorado over the last few years have been centered around, ‘We need data, we need data.’… And I think there’s been a shift recently to, ‘OK, we know this is happening,’ ” says Karam Ahmad, senior policy analyst at the Denver-based Colorado Health Institute. “We need to come up with shortand long-term solutions to protect people’s health and to come up with a sustainable way of living in Colorado.” On the following pages, you’ll find out how local doctors, health systems, and governments are attempting to do just that—and how you can use the information to protect yourself.
Climate change affects us all, but some factors put certain populations at greater risk.
ATHLETES Training outdoors leaves athletes more exposed to air pollution and heat.
CHILDREN Poor air quality damages developing lungs, and smaller body-surface area makes cooling down harder.
CHRONICALLY ILL Chronic respiratory and cardiovascular diseases can be triggered or exacerbated by environmental factors, such as air pollution and high heat.
ELDERLY Reduced lung and heart function make coping with bad air, high heat, or stressful climate events more difficult.
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS Outdoor workers and people experiencing homelessness—as well as people living near oil refineries, coal-fired power plants, or major highways (who tend to be people of color due to historical discrimination)—suffer increased exposure to pollution.
Wildfires, droughts, and floods are nothing new in Colorado. But as the planet warms, some of these events are becoming more frequent—and potentially more extreme. “Climate change is essentially the climate on steroids,” says Becky Bolinger, assistant state climatologist at Colorado State University’s Colorado Climate Center. In other words: Disasters like the ones below, and their accompanying health impacts, become more likely as the climate warms.
1. On July 20, 2019, the John Martin Reservoir near Lamar recorded Colorado’s highest known temperature, 115 degrees.
2. The three biggest wildfires in Colorado history all happened in 2020, after a spring and summer of exceptional drought.
a) Cameron Peak: 208,913 acres
b) East Troublesome: 193,812 acres
c) Pine Gulch: 139,007 acres
3. In 2018, the Upper Rio Grande River Basin’s snowpack melted
off completely by May 16, the earliest date on record.
4. Amid an ongoing 20-year drought, the Colorado River Basin experienced its lowest recorded precipitation levels over a 12-month period from May 2020 to April 2021. As of March 2021, the basin’s water catchments— where water ends up after snow melts off—were only 74 percent of the median level from 1981 to 2010, according to the National Integrated Drought Information System.
5. Average temperatures in the Rio Grande River Basin are projected to increase four to 10 degrees by the end of the century. The rise will lead to faster evaporation from reservoirs, depleting water supplies that are already low due to drought and declining streamflow.
6. In September 2018, the Colorado Division of Water Resources placed water-use restrictions on the Yampa River for the first time due to low flow. Another restriction was put into effect on the Yampa in 2020.
7. Because of drought, in July 2021 the Ute Water Conservancy District near Grand Junction tapped water from the Colorado River for the first time in 65 years to supplement other sources and preserve its reservoir supply.
8. In 2022, the Ute Mountain Ute tribe, located in the Four Corners region, stopped cultivating 6,000 of the 7,600 agricultural acres it owns after receiving only 10 percent of the agricultural water it had rights to in 2021. The tribe had to lay off half its farmworkers.

5280 Health: The air along the Front Range isn’t great.¹
What pollutants are we inhaling on a daily basis?
James Crooks: Fossil fuel development2 leaks gases like volatile organics,3 some of which are fairly benign, but some of which are dangerous.4 When we’re burning fossil fuels in our stoves or our cars, it’s producing nitrogen oxides, which are themselves bad and also make ozone worse. Volatile organics and nitrogen oxides combine in the atmosphere to make our ozone worse. Then there’s the whole wildfire thing.
All these things I’ve been talking about, plus particles. What’s in wildfire smoke depends so much on what the wildfire is burning through.
Right—and fires can dramatically increase the amount of tiny particles (aka particulate matter) in the air. Why are those microscopic particles such a huge health concern?
When most people think about the particles in the air, they’re normally thinking about something like dust in a sunbeam. That stuff can be bad for you, but the stuff that’s really bad for you is actually too small to see.5 The really tiny particles tend to be worse for you in part because they can get farther into your lungs, where you have a hard time coughing or sneezing them out. And we’re pretty sure some of them can pass through your lung lining into your bloodstream. We find evidence of particles in placentas, in the brains of people who’ve died and donated their bodies to science, in kidneys—and usually there’s some
1. Colorado’s northern Front Range has been out of compliance with federal ozone standards since 2004. Some major contributors to our poor marks include metro area traffic, the oil and gas industry (especially operations in Weld County and the Suncor refinery in Commerce City), and Denver International Airport. But topography, wind patterns, and ample sunshine also play roles in trapping existing pollutants and
sort of immune reaction happening around that particle. Your immune system has to attack them. That immune reaction can raise overall inflammation in your body, which tends to contribute to the thickening of the arteries and things like that. When you’re constantly inflamed all the time, that’s a bad thing.
Who is most vulnerable to air pollution?
For people who have a chronic respiratory or cardiovascular disease, like asthma, or older people with heart disease, air pollution spikes increase their risks of having an acute event: a heart attack, a stroke, an asthma attack. But even low levels of air pollution over a long enough time seem to be bad.6 Statistically, we can show it’s decreasing people’s life expectancy. The impacts are a lot broader than people realize and a lot larger than people realize.7
transforming so-called precursor pollutants into ozone.
2. Like oil and gas wells and refineries.
3. Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are chemical compounds that easily turn into gas and interact with other chemicals to produce pollutants, such as ozone.
4. Benzene, a VOC present in tobacco smoke and vehicle exhaust (among other sources) can damage bone
marrow, which can lead to anemia and can cause cancer.
5. Fine inhalable particles are 2.5 micrometers or smaller; according to the Environmental Protection Agency, the width of a human hair is about 30 times bigger than the largest of these particles.
6. A study published in Science Advances in 2020 used 16 years of Medicare data to find that decreasing long-term exposure to fine particulate
matter could lower mortality risk by as much as seven percent.
7. Based on findings from Crooks’ 2019 study on the impacts of wildfire smoke on pregnancy outcomes, he estimates that a smoky year like 2020 (compared to a less smoky year, such as 2019) would increase the odds of preterm births (by three to 13 percent), gestational diabetes (six to 60 percent), and hypertension (16 to 74 percent).
environmental epidemiologist and data scientist at National Jewish Health, James Crooks researches connections between air quality and human health with a special focus on the Front Range, where pollution is notoriously bad— and even worse when wildfires spark.
Protect yourself from air pollution by following the rainbow.
Trying to spot the mountains through the haze is one way to gauge local air pollution. A better, more scientific method is to check the AirNow website or app. A partnership between the EPA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (among others), AirNow uses the U.S. Air Quality Index (AQI) to codify the safety of air quality at specific locations around the country, based on the presence of five pollutants: ground-level ozone, particle pollution, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. To safeguard your health, learn the system’s colorful cues.
Green 0–50 Easy breathing Whatever you want! Take your kids to Cheesman Park, hike a fourteener, paddle the South Platte River—the day is yours. Yellow 51–100 A-OK, mostly Continue life as usual. Most people are unaffected by this level of pollution, but a rare few may experience lung irritation or other symptoms.
Orange 101–150 Unhealthy for those with existing lung and heart conditions If you have asthma or a similar condition, limit your time outdoors. Red 151–200 Unhealthy Stay inside if possible. If you exercise outside, do so in the morning, because ozone gets worse later in the day. If there is a lot of particulate matter in the air, which you can check on AirNow, consider putting portable filters, such as the Pure Enrichment PureZone ($100), in your bedroom and living areas. Purple 201–300 Bad Only go outside for vital reasons. If you must be outdoors, consider wearing an N95 mask (but know it’s not 100 percent pollution-proof). Maroon 301+ Hazardous This only occurs when a massive event, such as a volcanic eruption, occurs. Exercise all protective measures.
Two Front Range projects look to raise awareness about the health effects of poor air quality.
Initially funded by a three-year grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies in 2018, this city program has partnered with 40 Denver Public Schools locations so far. Along the way, it’s advocated for air quality to be added as an asthma trigger to student health plans (so if pollution is worse than usual, kids with asthma might stay inside at recess), provided air-quality sensors for student experiments, and given students access to data sets they can use to create visualizations of Denver’s smog for class projects. The idea? Help students, families, and educators understand the impacts of poor air quality. Last
year, Denver committed to funding the program once the Bloomberg grant runs out—which means that starting in 2023, Love My Air may expand beyond schools to recreation centers or community gathering places near you.
When pollutants fill the air outside, the best place to go is inside. But even your living room air can be riddled with toxins—especially during wildfire season. This past July, Boulder County Public Health (BCPH) installed air monitors and high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration units inside Can-
yon Point Apartments, a Boulder Housing Partners complex for lowincome older adults. BCPH hopes to discover how outdoor pollution influences indoor pollution while also measuring how effectively HEPA filters clear the air. However, because this past summer saw
fewer wildfires than expected, the pilot may need more than the initially planned six months to gather conclusive data. If the program proves effective, BCPH plans to expand to more Boulder County communities disproportionately affected by air pollution.
As summers grow hotter, Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins are taking cues from cities and counties in other states to help residents escape the heat.
Although hurricanes and tornados may grab headlines, heat is the number one weather-related killer in the United States, according to the National Weather Service, with a 30-year average of 138 deaths annually. Thanks to low humidity and cool nights, Colorado used to be less prone to the threat, but that’s changing: The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) recorded five heatrelated deaths in the state in 2020, six in 2021, and seven through October 2022. Those numbers might not seem concerning—until you realize that they’re around twice the state average since 2002.
Even before that data was released, Denver, Boulder County, and Fort Collins had started preparing for the consequences of a warming Colorado by creating extreme heat plans. Triggered by advisories from the National Weather Service (NWS), these emergency protocols mobilize governmental resources to ensure that residents, especially at-risk populations, know boiling temperatures are on their way and to offer shelter from the scorching heat. Although common in warm-weather states like Arizona, this type of planning is new to Colorado, Katy McLaren, lead climate specialist for the city of Fort Collins, says: “We have a learning curve and gaps for how to best prepare, respond, and adapt to these conditions.”
Meanwhile, partially in response to reports of an increase in heat-related visits to Centennial State emergency rooms, the NWS has adopted a new model for declaring heat advisories. Instead of using Heat Index, a measurement developed in the 1970s that relies heavily on humidity to determine if heat is hazardous to health, in Colorado the NWS now uses
HeatRisk, which factors in aspects like time of year and historical average temperatures. Enacted in 2022, the new metric resulted in four heat advisories in the Denver metro area from June to July this past summer.
Fortunately, Denver’s extreme heat plan also took effect last year. The response involved parks and recreation staff opening air-conditioned safe spaces in recreation centers across the city, while the Denver Department of Public Health & Environment (DDPHE) spread the word through various social media channels and informed people experiencing homelessness about the coming heat. “More people are probably familiar with [hypothermia]—like, what are the signs of it and how to avoid it,” says Emily Williams, director of communications for the DDPHE. “Now we’re trying to help educate people on what they need to do in the summer.”
Fort Collins and Boulder County have also taken lessons from places like Tempe, Arizona, which is working on an air-conditioned facility that will eventually be equipped with solar power and battery storage, and King County, Washington, which is testing heat pumps—contraptions that move hot air from one location to another—as an environmentally friendly cooling solution.
With the CDPHE and the Colorado Resiliency Office forming an extreme heat workgroup that first met in June 2022 to learn how the state can support local efforts, it’s only a matter of time before other Colorado cities and counties follow the leads of Denver, Fort Collins, and Boulder. “Extreme heat,” says former Boulder County Public Health climate change coordinator Grace Hood, “is very much going to be part of our public health and municipal planning vocabulary.”
Our state’s dry climate makes cooling off through perspiration easier, but Coloradans can still be affected by high temps. Here’s how to beat the heat.
1. Stay inside airconditioned buildings as much as possible. Air conditioning is the number one way to protect yourself against heat-related illness. If your home is not air-conditioned, you can visit one of Denver’s safe spaces if you feel the need to seek aid.
2. Drink more water than usual and don’t wait until you’re thirsty to imbibe.
3. Fans will not prevent heat-related illness in extreme heat. Take cool showers or baths.
4. Don’t use the stove or oven to cook—it will make you and your house hotter.
5. Don’t drink alcohol or beverages that contain caffeine.
6. Limit your outdoor activity, especially during the middle of the day when the sun is hottest.
7. If you experience any of the following symptoms, find shade, drink water, and consider calling 911: lightheadedness/ dizziness; headaches; confusion; muscle cramps and aching; exhaustion/ sluggishness; nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea; high body temperature, especially anything near or above 101 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees for kids); and feeling extremely hot but not sweating.
8. Consider visiting a cooling center at one of Denver’s recreation centers, including Athmar, Carla Madison, Cook Park, Green Valley Ranch, Highland, Eisenhower, Montclair, Hiawatha Davis, Platt Park, and Rude.
Climate change can damage our mental health too.
The climate crisis involves a lot of challenges beyond whether humankind will be able to, well, survive into the next century. According to Courtney Welton-Mitchell, assistant professor at the Colorado School of Public Health, changing climates are displacing people from generational homes, sparking grief or a loss of identity; wiping out livelihoods, especially in agricultural communities, which raises the risk for depression and other struggles; and driving extreme weather events associated with mental health outcomes like PTSD, depression, and anxiety. As awareness of the wellness impacts of climate change spreads, a growing number of organizations and individuals are stepping up to provide mental health support to Coloradans who need it.
How They’re Affected: After evacuating the family home only to return to ashes, wildfire survivors may experience a range of emotional reactions, from grief to anger to despondence and, in some cases, post-traumatic stress disorder.
Who’s Helping: Amanda Rebel, a licensed therapist in the Denver area who works one-on-one with adults who’ve experienced climate-related disasters or eco-anxiety, has seen so much need for care that this past fall she launched a climatefocused support group.
How They’re Affected: A 2021 study in Lancet Planetary Health found that 84 percent of 16- to 25-year-olds surveyed were at least “moderately worried” about climate change.
Who’s Helping: The Climate Psychology Alliance North America’s website includes a map that displays therapists in your area who can help young people process their emotions and find healthy ways to cope with climate change.
How They’re Affected: Science teachers have a crucial responsibility to teach the next generation about climate change without making students’ anxiety worse.
Who’s Helping: The education outreach arm of Boulder-based CIRES (Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences) offers programs including HEART Force, a curriculum for rural teachers that engages students with hands-on environmental projects (because taking action is a key way to combat climate anxiety), and CLEAN, an online network offering resources and webinars on topics like how to manage climate-related stress.
How They’re Affected: For scientists in the field, climate change isn’t theoretical. But knowledge isn’t power when climate deniers hold office and refuse to pass legislation that would reduce emissions. Frustration? Meet sense of impending doom.
Who’s Helping: Good Grief Network, an international nonprofit, offers virtual small group meetings for peer-to-peer support. Groups meet for 10 weeks to build community ties and individual resilience to deal with climate grief or eco-anxiety.
How They’re Affected: Unpredictable weather, unreliable water supplies, and increasing feed prices make it harder for farmers and ranchers to earn a living. Loss of livelihood and potentially their family’s land can lead to stress, depression, and substance abuse.
Who’s Helping: The Colorado Agricultural Addiction and Mental Health Program (from the Colorado Farm Bureau) provides vouchers for six no-cost telehealth counseling sessions to anyone living in rural Colorado. Participants choose from a list of approved counselors, and no diagnosis is required.

Frequently asked questions about the Top Doctors selection process.
Why didn’t you choose my doctor?
We don’t pick the docs— Denver physicians do. For the past 28 years, 5280 has surveyed doctors and asked them, specialty by specialty, which metro-area physicians they would trust to treat themselves and their families. Our theory is that medical professionals are best qualified to judge other medical professionals. The ballot is posted on 5280.com from the end of January to mid-March each year. Every metro-area doctor with a valid Colorado medical license can fill it out. Once the doctor hits “save,” the votes are entered into our database and tallied.
So doesn’t that make it a big popularity contest? In some respects, yes. We hope that doctors give us careful, responsible answers, but there’s little we can do to stop them from recommending their skiing buddies. Using the list is a lot like going to your doctor and asking for a referral. The difference is that we’re asking a lot more doctors than you’d ever have the chance to—and more than 1,530 responded this year.
I thought my doc was a good physician, but she’s not on the list. What does that mean?
Nothing. She probably is a good doctor. The selection of doctors by peer review can leave many excellent doctors
off the list. Because longtime, well-known doctors have the advantage of name recognition, the list may favor that kind of doctor. However, that in no way means your doctor isn’t qualified and completely competent.
I’m a doctor, and I couldn’t access the online ballot. Why? We get the database of all licensed physicians in the state from the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies and select the doctors located in the seven metro-area counties (Denver, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Boulder, Adams, Douglas, and Jefferson), which results in a list of more than 12,000 docs.
If you attempted to log on to the system and received a pop-up response that said, “Login failed, please check your name and license number,” that means there is a disconnect between your information and the information we have in the system. If you’ve recently moved to Colorado and haven’t updated your publicly available address with the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies, for example, your license will not register as local and therefore will be invalid in our system.
If you have registered your license at an address outside the seven metro-area counties, you will not be in our database. If you have a hardto-spell last name or if you’ve recently changed your name,
it’s possible the information we have from the state is incorrect and you will have trouble logging in.
In the future, if you have difficulty logging in to our system, please use the “comment” tool on the ballot site and let us know. We’re happy to work through the problem so you can vote.
I’ve heard the list is rigged—that only doctors who advertise with 5280 make it. Is that true? Nope. The Top Doctors list is completely unaffected by which doctors advertise in the magazine and/or on our website. Doctors sometimes choose to advertise after they’ve been chosen for the list, but how much or if and when doctors choose to advertise are not taken into consideration. Period.
How does 5280 choose the medical specialties on the list?
Through the years, we’ve worked to improve Top Doctors by updating the categories, increasing the number of eligible voters, and considering suggestions from health care professionals. For the better part of two decades, our categories have included only specialties approved by the American Board of Medical Specialties (although we do not include every ABMS specialty). This system for choosing categories eases
confusion among doctors filling out the survey and reduces the amount of lobbying we get from doctors and hospitals that would like us to include more obscure specialties.
So why aren’t categories such as chiropractic and podiatry ever included in the list?
Although these areas of medicine are completely relevant, respectable, and necessary, our list is a physician-only (M.D.s and D.O.s) directory.
Does 5280 check out all the doctors on the list?
The magazine independently verifies every doctor’s name, phone number, office address, and hospital affiliations. We also take the additional step of sending our list to the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies for approval—meaning doctors on our list do not currently have disciplinary actions against their licenses and have not experienced a malpractice suit and/or settlement in at least five years.
The magazine sometimes chooses doctors to be profiled or to serve as sources for the accompanying story. How are they chosen?
5280 sometimes likes to introduce you to some of our Top Docs through profiles or by using them to explain different aspects of medicine. We believe this is a great way to show our readers that these physicians are not just names on a list. In choosing doctors to include, we do our best to vary the medical specialties represented and introduce you to doctors we have never included before. Of course, sometimes our stories involve doctors who are not on the list as well.

This list is pulled from the 2022 topDentists database, which is created using peer evaluations and includes listings for more than 900 dentists and specialists in Colorado. To create its list, topDentists asked dentists and specialists a personal question: “If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer him or her to?” The nomination pool comprised all active dentists listed online with the American Dental Association as well as with dental academies and societies. (Dentists could also nominate others who may not be on those lists.) Respondents were asked to consider experience, continuing education, manner with patients, use of new techniques and technologies, and physical results. After the responses were compiled, dentists were checked against state dental boards for disciplinary actions to make sure they have active licenses and are in good standing. We realize there are many fine dentists who are not on this list; a dentist’s inclusion is based on the subjective judgments of fellow dentists. For more information, visit usatopdentists.com.

Did you know that the WAY you breathe can increase your risk of gingivitis and increase your blood pressure? And did you know that the way your teeth fit together can determine how much enamel wear you’ll have in the future? These are just a few items we discuss during your exam to ensure the opportunity for you to achieve optimal oral health. Our patients are well informed individuals who seek the best care in a friendly, comfortable environment. We treat general dentistry needs, headaches, TMJ problems, cosmetic concerns, implants, and sleep apnea when the CPAP isn’t tolerable.

What if instead of trudging on the treadmill while the snow is a-fallin’ this winter, you chose to strut? North Carolina–based TikTok influencer Allie Bennett has created a stir with her curated playlists designed to help you work that ’mill like a runway—from strut to sprint and back again. By focusing on fun over calories burned or miles run, the routines are ideal for beginners (though they can be easily ratcheted up for more experienced runners), and research shows that people who report feeling happy or energized after a sweat session are more likely to turn exercise into a habit. To help you get in that groove, we put together a 35-minute treadmill workout featuring Centennial State jams that will leave you feeling Rocky Mountain high. —MALISSA
