No insurance middlemen. No surprise bills. Just straightforward, personal care.
Direct Primary Care in Northeast Ohio
Comprehensive Primary Care Without the Usual Frustrations
Traditional primary care has become a hurried, fragmented experience. The average office visit lasts seven to ten minutes, wait times stretch for days or weeks, and billing surprises follow months later. Four Corners Health Care was built specifically to fix that. Our Direct Primary Care model removes the insurance intermediary entirely, so your provider can focus on one thing: you. Every visit is allocated 30 to 60 minutes of dedicated provider time, giving you the space to ask questions, understand your options, and make decisions together. Our four founding clinicians, each with 20-plus years of experience, bring a depth of family medicine expertise that large corporate clinics simply cannot match. With a patient panel capped at 400 per provider, the promise of direct, personal access is not a marketing claim; it is a structural guarantee.
Preventive Medicine in Northeast Ohio
Proactive Care That Stays Ahead of the Problem
Preventive medicine is at the core of everything we do. Rather than waiting for a crisis to develop, our providers work with you on lifestyle coaching, health evaluations, and proactive wellness management designed to catch issues early and keep them from escalating. Routine diagnostics, biometric screenings, and wholesale lab access through LabCorp are all part of the membership, at transparent, upfront pricing. Whether you are managing your weight, monitoring cholesterol, or simply looking for a provider who will take the time to understand your full health picture, our team is equipped to help. This is the kind of preventive care that used to be the standard in medicine, and we are committed to bringing it back.
Chronic Disease Management
Consistent, Attentive Management of Long-Term Conditions
Living with a chronic condition requires more than a prescription refill every few months. Our clinical team provides intensive, ongoing management for conditions including diabetes, hypertension, asthma, high cholesterol, and thyroid disorders. Because our providers carry smaller patient panels and offer unlimited office visits, you get the consistent, attentive follow-up that chronic disease management actually requires. Shared decision making is a core part of how we work: you are an active partner in your care plan, not a passive recipient of instructions. This approach leads to better compliance, fewer emergency interventions, and a clearer understanding of your own health over time.

Common Questions About Our Services
Primary Care at Four Corners: Your Questions Answered
Do I still need health insurance if I join Four Corners Health Care for primary care?
Four Corners Health Care is designed to work alongside your existing insurance, not replace it. The membership covers primary care services, but you would still want insurance for specialist referrals, hospitalizations, labs outside the membership scope, and other high-cost events. Many members pair a Four Corners membership with a high-deductible health plan, using the membership for everyday care and insurance as a safety net for larger medical needs. This combination often costs significantly less than relying on a traditional insurance plan alone for routine visits.How long are appointments, and is same-day or next-day access really available?
Every appointment at Four Corners Health Care is allocated 30 to 60 minutes of dedicated provider time. Same-day or next-day access is the standard for members, not an exception. Because each provider limits their patient panel to 400 people, the practice is structured to keep that level of access available consistently. Members also have 24/7 direct access to their provider by phone, text, or email for questions that come up between visits, so you are not left waiting days for an answer to an important health concern.What chronic conditions does the primary care team manage on an ongoing basis?
The clinical team provides ongoing management for a range of chronic conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, asthma, high cholesterol, and thyroid disorders. Members receive unlimited office visits, which means follow-up appointments for chronic disease management are included in the flat monthly fee rather than billed separately. This structure supports the kind of consistent, attentive care that managing a long-term condition actually requires, rather than the brief, infrequent check-ins that are typical in traditional insurance-based settings.What does a Four Corners Health Care membership cost for an individual or a family?
Membership pricing is structured in tiers. Individual adults 26 and older pay $100 per month, with an $80 enrollment fee. Young adults between 18 and 25 pay $75 per month. Family plans start at $280 per month for a family of three, $360 for a family of four, and $400 for families of five or six, with enrollment fees in the $200 to $300 range. Small businesses with six or more employees can enroll at $85 per employee per month. Beginning in 2026, DPC membership fees will be eligible for HSA reimbursement, allowing members to pay with pre-tax dollars.Is preventive care and wellness management included in the membership, or billed separately?
Preventive medicine is a central part of the membership at Four Corners Health Care, not an add-on. Members have access to health evaluations, lifestyle coaching, and routine diagnostics as part of their ongoing care. Lab work is available at wholesale pricing through LabCorp, and all costs are disclosed upfront. The practice focuses on proactive wellness management, meaning providers work with members to address health concerns before they become costly emergencies, rather than responding only when symptoms appear.Who are the providers, and what is their background in primary and family medicine?
Four Corners Health Care was founded by four clinicians who previously worked together at MinuteClinic. Dr. Margaret Henning holds a DNP and is a 2024 Paragon Award recipient with a background in neurology, emergency care, and academic leadership. Courtney Gravens, MSN, FNP, previously served as Medical Director of the Lake County Free Clinic. Samantha Cole, MSN, FNP, brings 19 years in women's health and labor and delivery. Shanon Mekesa Ellis, MBA, MSN, FNP, combines a corporate finance background with clinical practice and also runs a dedicated telehealth weight loss service. Together, the four partners bring over 80 years of combined experience.Can I access services at Four Corners Health Care without enrolling in a membership?
Yes. Non-members can access a range of flat-fee services without enrolling in a membership. These include sick visits, DOT exams, sports and camp physicals, work permit physicals, TB testing, and health and biometric screenings. All services are priced transparently with no hidden fees. Non-members who use the practice regularly may find that a monthly membership offers better value, given that a single urgent care visit at a traditional clinic typically costs two and a half to five times the monthly membership fee.What geographic areas does Four Corners Health Care serve?
Four Corners Health Care is headquartered in Concord Township and serves patients across Lake, Geauga, Cuyahoga, and Ashtabula counties. Communities served include Mentor, Painesville, Willoughby, Chardon, Kirtland, Kirtland Hills, Waite Hill, Chesterland, Highland Heights, Mayfield, Mayfield Heights, Gates Mills, Madison, Perry, and Geneva, among others. The practice is positioned to serve residents across this broad Northeast Ohio region, including suburban families and independent professionals who may not have convenient access to traditional primary care options.
