From Testosterone and Perimenopause Care to Sick Days: One Membership Covers It All
We’ve all come across telehealth services that cost more than a Costco trip and only offer hormone and weight-loss therapies for upwards of $499 a month. You can skip the waiting room and receive their set panel of labs and have one specific concern addressed (forget about managing your hormones, weight and your asthma!)
It feels helpful, until you want to address all of your health needs: mental health, postpartum recovery, perimenopause support or testosterone optimization, weight loss, blood pressure or simply optimize overall health to match your training plan.
At Base Camp Health you get you get all of that— plus a family practice nurse practitioner who can actually see you when you’re sick, stitch up a cut from the trail run that went sidewise, manage your blood pressure alongside your hormone panel, and text you back with a personalized plan of care.
Same goals. A fraction of the cost. And care that doesn't stop when life gets complicated.
Direct Primary Care at Base Camp Health isn't a narrower version of those services. It's a fuller one.
You Shouldn't Have to Pay $900 to Know What's Going On in Your Body
If you've tried to order a comprehensive hormone panel or anything beyond a basic annual screen, you know how fast it adds up. $400. $700. Sometimes more — and the results come back with "within normal range" and zero context for what that actually means for your life.At Base Camp Health, labs are ordered when they make clinical sense for you — not when your insurance says it's okay. Thyroid panel, hormone workup, micronutrients , comprehensive metabolic panel — whatever's relevant, we order it.
And because we purchase lab work at wholesale cost through group purchasing (no markup), you pay a fraction of what you'd pay elsewhere. No more $900 panels. No more hesitating to ask for the test you actually need.
One Membership. All Your Healthcare Needs.
This is where Base Camp Health is genuinely different than your overpriced online subscription.
Yes, we handle perimenopause, testosterone, weight loss, ADHD, anxiety, and wellness optimization. But that's just one trail in a much bigger backcountry.
Chronic conditions: Diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, depression — conditions that need a provider who knows your full picture and adjusts your plan over time. Not a protocol. A relationship.
When you or your kids get sick: RSV, Flu, COVID, strep, ear infections, UTIs — you need to be seen today, not in three weeks. Reach out and we'll get you in.
When something actually happens: Base Camp Health performs sutures, splinting, wound care, IV fluids, nebulizer treatments, and rapid tests for COVID, flu, and RSV — right here in the office. We manage fractures, climbing injuries, skiing wipeouts, and trail running sprains with advice that accounts for who you are and what you're trying to get back to. There’s not an app for that.
When You Message, Ruth Answers
Text, call, email, or message through the portal — and expect a reply in hours, not weeks. Same-day or next-day appointments when you need to be seen. After-hours access when something urgent comes up.
The person who ordered your labs is the person who picks up the phone. There are no barriers between you and your care. Once you've experienced that, it's hard to go back.
And the best part? Your Base Camp Health membership covers all of it.
A Real Relationship With a Provider Who Knows You
Ruth Bentley has been practicing family medicine in Boulder since 2020, with over a decade of RN experience in inpatient, urgent care, and emergency settings. She built this practice for Boulder's active community — the families who are out on the Flatirons on weekends and navigating the real logistics of health, kids, work, and life the rest of the week.
Visits at Base Camp Health are not a video call with someone you'll never see again, they are conversations with a provider who remembers what you told her six months ago because she took the time to actually learn your story.
Base Camp Health offers a free meet-and-greet so you can ask questions, meet Ruth, and decide if DPC makes sense for your family. No pressure, no paperwork, no obligation.
Membership is capped at 250 patients. If you've been thinking about it, now is a good time to take the next step.
Your base camp for every adventure. Your provider when it matters.
