Healthcare Shouldn’t Break the Bank ❤️‍🩹

In a time where healthcare feels more uncertain than ever, getting answers about your health should never leave you riddled with anxiety, fear, or financial stress.

At Lionheart DPC, we believe clarity and affordability go hand in hand. That’s why our members have access to deeply discounted lab pricing — transparent, fair, and designed to put control back in your hands.

These are real examples of laboratory prices our Lionheart families can count on 🧡🦁

We can run our bread and butter panels for $80-120 !

Those same labs easily climb up to $700 or $1,200 if billed through insurance.

At the end of the day, healthcare should bring comfort, not confusion. Cost should never be the reason you delay getting the care you need.

We’ve negotiated these discounted prices so our members can access care without fear of financial burden.

Direct Primary Care - It’s healthcare, the way it should be 🙌🏻

What an incredible first week at Lionheart DPC! 🙌🏻

Our Lionheart families are already starting to experience what we mean by making care convenient. With our app, you can self-schedule anytime and text us directly for quick questions or clarifications.

✨ One mom shared her story this week: she woke up early and realized her child needed to be seen. At 5:30 in the morning, she opened our app, scheduled an appointment with just a couple of clicks, and we were able to see her kiddo that very same morning. No waiting for the office to open, being placed on hold, or dealing with phone tag — just easy, direct care when her family needed it most.

And while the convenience has been a huge hit, our Lionheart families have also been telling us how much they love the space itself. They’ve described it as calming and cozy — exactly what we hoped to create. Watching little ones explore with awe and wonder, smiles on their faces, has been such a joy.

This is why we started Lionheart DPC: to make care easier for busy parents while creating a space where kids and families feel truly at home. Thank you to all our Lionheart families who trusted us this week — we can’t wait for what’s ahead. 🧡

We’re excited to share our recent interview with WAGM where we talked about the growing excitement around Direct Primary Care and how Lionheart is making healthcare simpler, more accessible, and more personal.

The response from our community has been incredible — so many of you have shared your stories about high insurance costs, limited coverage, and the tough choices you’ve had to make just to keep up with medical bills. Hearing these experiences only strengthens our commitment to be part of the solution.

Because let’s face it: some things in life are complicated… but primary care shouldn’t be one of them.

Every name has a story — and the story behind Lionheart runs deep.

The lion is a symbol of courage, strength, and leadership. But beyond that, lions live in community. They care for one another, protect one another, and thrive together in close-knit groups called prides. We want our care to reflect that: connection, trust, and shared strength.

The story of Lionheart began to take root with one of our very first patients in the area. While examining his ear, we jokingly told him he had a lion in there. It became a small tradition — at every visit, he’d smile and ask, “Is the lion still there?” What started as a lighthearted moment became a reflection of something deeper: the trust that builds over time, the comfort of being known, and the value of long-term relationships. The lion will always remind us of that.

Courage is at the heart of Lionheart. It takes courage to step outside the traditional healthcare system, to choose something unfamiliar in pursuit of something better. Direct primary care breaks away from the impersonal, high-volume systems and instead offers time, presence, and relationship. It’s about slowing down, listening well, and choosing people over paperwork. That’s not always the easy path — but we believe it’s the right one.

Our faith also shapes how we work. Colossians 3:23 (NLT) reminds us: “Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.” This verse challenges us to serve wholeheartedly, and to approach each day with gratitude and intention.

At Lionheart, we’re building more than a clinic.
We’re building a community where people feel known, valued, and cared for — and we’re doing it with boldness, faith, and heart.

Welcome to Lionheart.
