We, the undersigned Boulder County Residents, strongly believe the nutrition counseling program for 60+ is an essential program. We express strong opposition to cutting the nutrition counseling from the budget July 1st, 2025 in its entirety.

Boulder County Area Agency on Aging (BCAAA) has been innovative to offer one-on-one nutrition counseling with a Registered Dietitian for any county resident 60 or older for the past 12 years! Katie Filkins and her team of dietitians at Boulder Nutrition & Exercise Services in conjunction with Satya Williams (who works predominately with our Spanish speaking population) have been successfully serving the community this essential service. They have worked with thousands of our community members over the past 12 years and continue relationships/support every year. 

These dietitians act as liaisons with our aging population with the medical community, work with individuals, their families, caregivers, and physicians. They advocate, support, educate, meal plan, connect with affordable healthy food acquisition to prevent and improve chronic disease. 

This service is not available through Medicare or private insurance for all 60 or over. Therefore, nutrition counseling can be cost prohibitive when living on a fixed income.

The success and demand nutrition counseling has on the health and wellbeing of our community members 60 and over through this program is far too impactful to terminate.
