Opening update
Thoughtful care is on its way.
Mountain Community Healthcare is completing the final steps needed to open its doors, with an anticipated opening in November 2026. Enrolled patients will use AtlasMD for appointment requests and secure communication after the clinic activates their access.
A simpler way forward
Healthcare should feel like a relationship—not a transaction.
Direct Primary Care provides primary care directly to patients without billing an insurance company for routine services.
A straightforward monthly membership includes unlimited sick and well visits, routine in-house testing, and direct access to your provider by text, phone, or video. Advanced testing costs are shared upfront—so there are no surprise bills.
