We’re proud to highlight the incredible work of Dr. Amie Meditz, whose recent article and painting was published on Healio.com and in Healio's monthly ID News magazine, reflecting on her journey at Boulder Community Health during and after the pandemic. "This article and painting describes a slice of my experience at BCH during and after the pandemic. I focused on the theme of connectivity and the ongoing need to integrate infectious diseases in all aspects of hospital function," says Dr. Meditz, "It was a cathartic process and inspired me to try to bring forward the achievements of the pandemic. I didn't do it alone and got input from colleagues, such as Sharna ILL, and had help from a copy editor Claire Graff, PA and painting lessons from Sally Elliott." Thank you, Dr. Meditz, for sharing your story and the achievements of our team during such a challenging time.

Did you know that 1 in 3 people don’t respond to traditional antidepressants? For those who struggle with treatment-resistant depression, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) could offer a solution. TMS is a non-invasive, FDA-approved therapy that uses electromagnetic pulses to activate the brain’s mood-regulating pathways, helping those affected by major depression find relief. Best of all, TMS doesn’t require anesthesia or surgery, and most patients can resume normal activities immediately after each session. If you’ve been struggling with depression and haven’t found success with other treatments, consider TMS as a potential step toward reclaiming your mental health.

Ketamine for Treatment-Resistant Depression Ketamine infusions may offer new hope for those struggling with treatment-resistant depression. For many, traditional antidepressants aren’t enough, leaving them feeling stuck in a constant fog. At BCH, we provide intravenous (IV) low-dose ketamine infusions as an option for individuals with treatment-resistant major depression or bipolar depression. These treatments are administered under the care of trained psychiatric professionals who closely monitor progress. If you or someone you know is looking for an alternative treatment for depression, learn more about ketamine therapy at BCH.
