Colorado’s eating disorder treatment industry will soon face tighter regulations of providers’ practices under a new state law spurred in part by former patients and providers’ accounts of punitive environments and treatment practices. The law, passed by lawmakers this spring as Senate Bill 117, charges the state Behavioral Health Administration with issuing new rules for eating disorder treatment clinics.

It’s been a bad year for my garden tomatoes so far. I planted seeds indoors too soon, in early April; even after a month, they all were stunted in their starter pots.

Organizers of the inaugural Outside Festival took a risk in putting on the three-day event last week at Civic Center, betting that industry insiders and ticket-buyers would support it. Their expectations were exceeded and their vision was validated, they said. About 18,000 people attended, according to Robin Thurston, chief executive of Outside Interactive Inc., and nearly 20% of the ticket buyers were from out of state.

Most Colorado hospital systems had a profitable start to 2024, a financial rebound following a difficult year when expenses grew faster than their incomes. Only two of the six health systems that operate in Colorado reported a loss in the first three months of 2024: Denver Health, the region’s financially strained safety-net hospital, and CommonSpirit Health, which owns the Catholic hospitals in the former Centura Health partnership, including St.

Sunshine Thomas-Bear has visited a lot of museums in her role as the cultural preservation director for the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska and knows the feeling when an institution seems open to returning sacred objects.

Enrollment in Colorado’s largest district is expected to fall 8.3% from 76,157 K-12 students during the 2023-24 academic year to 69,819 pupils during the 2028-29 school year, according to a presentation DPS officials are scheduled to give the Board of Education on Monday. The school board on Monday is also expected to discuss the district’s policy on school consolidation and closures, which, if approved, would set guidelines for Superintendent Alex Marrero if and when he decides which schools to recommend for closure. The policy includes directives such as not using enrollment minimums as “bright line criteria,” as schools of any enrollment size are eligible for consolidation, according to the latest draft. “We’re currently waiting on a decision around (that policy) and that dictates both whether we consider consolidation and what the parameters of that process and consideration will be,” said Andrew Huber, executive director of enrollment and campus planning for DPS.
