Integrated Medical Care
Our board-certified providers deliver comprehensive primary care including preventive exams, chronic disease management, and acute care. We treat patients of all ages with a focus on whole-person wellness through coordinated medical, dental, and behavioral health services. Our evidence-based approach consistently exceeds national clinical standards for immunizations, hypertension control, and diabetes management.
Telehealth Services
We offer secure video and phone consultations for medical and behavioral health appointments. This convenient option allows patients to connect with providers from home while maintaining integration with in-person services. Telehealth visits follow initial in-person appointments and are coordinated through our main scheduling line for continuous care.

Services are available for patients from adolescence through menopause with sliding-scale fees for low-income individuals. We offer same-day contraception options and specialized care at Avon and Gypsum locations.
Behavioral Health Services
Licensed therapists provide integrated mental health support during medical appointments, addressing depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Our solution-focused approach includes brief interventions and community resource connections while offering referrals for ongoing specialized care when needed. Services are available to all registered patients as part of comprehensive healthcare.

We operate three school-based clinics providing medical, dental, and behavioral services for students aged 0-20.
