Access to Care

You should not have to assemble your care from four different places. We built our care around primary care, behavioral health care, and help with medicine costs. Ask us about dental care. If we can't provide it here, we'll help you find it.

One home for your doctor visit, counseling, and help with medicine costs.

  1. 1 of 4 · What can I get here?

    Primary care at the center, one team.

    Primary care — a doctor or nurse practitioner who knows you — is the center. Around that sit counseling and mental-health support. You can fill your prescriptions at any pharmacy you choose. Ask us if you need help paying for your medicines. Ask us about dental care. If we can't provide it here, we'll help you find it.

    If a piece is not in this building yet, we arrange it. You should leave with a next step, not a shrug.

  2. 2 of 4 · What happens after the visit?

    A plan you can actually follow at home.

    We look at what is going on (tests and check-ins), treat it (therapy, medicine, equipment), then keep you well over the year. If you have a long-term condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure, your team keeps a year-long plan so everyone is working from the same list.

    A CareCoach is a person on your team who helps between visits — the sheet, the ride, the refill reminder — not a second doctor.

  3. 3 of 4 · Does this change as I get older?

    Kids, adults, and older adults have different doors.

    Children: we work to keep medicines affordable. Ask us about dental care. If we can't provide it here, we'll help you find it. Adults: ask about sliding fee if money is tight. Older adults: a yearly wellness visit is the foundation, plus a plan if you live with more than one chronic condition.

    Bring your medicine bottles. We will line them up with the list. We will not print dosing tables on a flyer — your pharmacist and clinician read the label with you.

  4. 4 of 4 · What about mood and crisis?

    We will ask. We will not leave you alone with it.

    A short mood screen (two questions) may be part of a visit. If it is positive, we connect you with a clinician. Counseling notes stay in your medical chart, not on a public page.

    Call 911 if you or someone else is in danger now. 988 if someone needs a person now.
