In an effort to provide more options to individuals impacted by the justice system, Boulder Care, a digital health clinic offering long-term support and treatment for substance use disorders, has partnered with Thurston County’s Resource Hub.
The Resource Hub, located in Olympia on-site at the Thurston County Courthouse Complex, is a drop-in resource center for people who are impacted by the justice system. Boulder Care joins an already extensive list of partner providers who are offering services directly to individuals accessing the Resource Hub.
Boulder Care has provided care to individuals in Washington since 2020 and offers medication assisted treatment through an app-based platform where participants can interact with clinicians, peer support specialists, and case managers. Boulder Care serves Medicaid patients across the state.
“As someone who has worked extensively in Thurston County, I am so excited for Boulder to be a part of this innovative new program. I have already seen the impact they are having on the lives of so many people, and it’s a privilege to join a cast of incredible community partners,” said Marshall Glass, Boulder Care’s Washington Partner Success Manager.
“The Resource Hub launched in June 2022, and since then, the Hub has had more than 500 visits from those impacted by the justice system. One of the largest reported needs is assessment and treatment. Unfortunately, these services often come with long wait times,” said Leah Landon, Thurston County’s Criminal Justice Regional Program Manager. “We are incredibly excited for this partnership as it will allow clients seeking these services to get care and begin treatment more quickly. In addition, Boulder is app-based, meaning people can engage in services from wherever works best for them.”

About Thurston County Resource Hub
The Resource Hub exists to help Thurston County residents navigate community resources to make life safer and more stable. If you or someone you know needs assistance with behavioral health, employment and/or education, housing, public benefits, healthcare, legal support, or something else, the Resource Hub can help connect you to services.
At the Hub, we believe by reducing barriers to accessing services we can reduce repeat involvement in the justice system for individuals with behavioral health needs, and support the safety, health, and wellbeing of all Thurston County residents.
