Episode 5: Stephanie Strong – Transforming Addiction Treatment With Boulder Care
In this episode of The Five Mile Difference, I sit down with Stephanie Strong, founder and CEO of Boulder Care, to talk about what it takes to reimagine addiction treatment in America.
Stephanie shares her journey from shaping health policy in D.C. to venture investing to founding Boulder, which has now cared for more than 30,000 patients through a fully virtual model. We explore her decision to focus on Medicaid, the unique challenges of payer contracting, and the values that guide Boulder through industry uncertainty.
We discuss:
How early policy work shaped her founder journey
Why focusing on Medicaid patients creates the most impact
The importance of advocacy in shaping telehealth rules
Lessons from building patient-first culture at scale
How Boulder proved virtual addiction care can outperform in-person
Stephanie holds degrees from Duke and has dedicated her career to the intersection of health policy, innovation, and care delivery. Today, she leads Boulder Care from Oregon, expanding access to life-saving treatment nationwide.
