We are building healthcare that works differently. Here’s what to know.

  • We’re working hard to open our doors in 2025, and we need your help to get there.

    Right now, we’re finalizing our space, gathering support, and putting everything in place to offer the kind of care our community deserves.

  • No. You do not need insurance to access care at The Iris Center. Our clinic operates on a transparent, community-funded model.

    We offer clear, affordable pricing for all visits, with no hidden fees, no copays, and no surprise bills.

    You can still use your insurance for prescriptions, labs, or imaging services ordered outside of your visit.

  • We believe in keeping care simple and accessible.

    30-min visit with Provider: $35
    60-min visit with Provider: $50

  • We are proud to welcome patients with Medicaid.

    However, because of our nonprofit structure and funding model, we are not able to see every Medicaid patient automatically—and The Iris Center does not bill Medicaid directly.

    Patients with Medicaid can fill out a brief application to request care.

    We review these requests carefully to ensure we can honor the dignity, time, and quality each patient deserves.

  • We are committed to making care as accessible as possible.

    Thanks to our community-beneficiary model, we reserve space in our schedule for patients who are unable to pay the standard fees.

    If you need assistance, we encourage you to reach out. Together, we will find a path forward.

  • The Iris Center is supported by community members who believe healthcare should be accessible to everyone.

    Beneficiaries commit to donating $1,000 or more each year to help sustain a care model that centers people—not profit. These contributions are tax-deductible and directly support our ability to offer longer visits, transparent pricing, and increased access across the community.

    This shared commitment helps keep care affordable and affirming for all.

    What is a community beneficiary?

  • Yes.

    The Iris Center is a nonprofit organization. We have filed for 501(c)(3) status and are currently awaiting final approval.

  • The best way to stay connected is by joining our email list.

    We will send occasional updates as we get closer to opening, along with ways to support and be part of our growing community.

  • No, you do not need to donate or be a community beneficiary to receive care. Our clinic is open to all, and our prices are designed to be affordable, with or without insurance.

  • Zeffy is the free platform we use for donations. It runs on optional tips. To skip the tip, select “Other” and enter $0. Your donation still supports The Iris Center fully.

  • Fiscal sponsorship is a legal and financial arrangement in which a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, in this case La Cocina, extends its tax-exempt status to a mission-aligned project such as The Iris Project (DBA The Iris Center). This allows The Iris Center to receive charitable contributions and grants while focusing on its programmatic work. La Cocina is responsible for financial oversight, compliance, and reporting to the IRS.
