Meet Our New Board Member: Lisa Chollet

We’re excited to welcome Lisa Chollet to our Board of Directors!

As a community leader, entrepreneur, and mental health advocate with deep roots in Larimer County, Lisa has served as Chair of the Larimer County Planning Commission, Planning Commissioner for the Town of Wellington, Executive Director of Safe Routes to School – Wellington, and the Poudre School District Budget Advisory Committee.

Lisa’s dedication to behavioral health is shaped by her own experience navigating trauma, domestic violence, and the behavioral-health system as a young mother. Now the Founder of Campaignalytics and Co-Founder of BST Strategies, she brings strategic, data-driven leadership and a strong belief in compassion, and accessible mental health support for all.

“I’ve been the person who needed help and didn’t know where to turn,” Lisa shares. “The support I found changed the course of my life. I want every person in Northern Colorado to know that healing is possible and that they’re not alone.”

We are grateful for Lisa’s leadership and the impact she’ll bring to our team and community!

Senator Bennet Visits Our New Adolescent Unit at Longview

U.S. Senator Michael Bennet visited our newly completed Adolescent Unit at Acute Care Behavioral Health Facility at Longview on November 23, 2025. Larimer County Commissioner Jody Shadduck-McNally organized the visit, joining the Senator, SummitStone CEO Cyndi Dodds, Director of Larimer County Behavioral Health Services Amy Martonis, and other community partners.

Senator Bennet toured the new space and learned about the care we’ll soon provide for young people in crisis. The visit gave us a chance to share our progress and talk about the challenges ahead. We discussed how funding pressures from Medicaid and state and federal budgets affect our ability to provide care. Cyndi spoke about what Larimer County needs and the resources that will help us keep these vital services going.

We’re grateful for our strong community partnerships and the opportunity to show the work we’re doing to strengthen care for young people and families.
