Heather Copeland, owner of Apex Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Center, was served Oct. 22 for practicing medicine without a license, according to the report. 

According to a cease-and-desist letter the publication received from the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies, the state’s medical board found that the clinics were not owned by a licensed medical provider, and Ms. Copeland was never licensed to practice medicine in Colorado.

Ms. Copeland allegedly engaged in the unlicensed practice of medicine, providing services including pain management.
