Healthcare, reimagined by and for our community
Healthcare is meant to heal.
Somewhere along the way, that got lost.
At The Iris Center, we imagined what healthcare could look like if we stripped away everything that hurt: insurance gatekeeping, rushed visits, hidden fees. And kept everything that mattered:
Human connection. Time to listen. Care without conditions.
We built this place because we believe healthcare should feel safe, clear, and deeply personal.
Who’s behind the Iris Center?
The Iris Center was founded by Dr. Stacie Johns and Casey Cash, FNP-BC, two longtime providers in Fort Collins. This is not a clinic they are joining. It is one they are creating from the ground up to offer a better way to care for people.
Because everyone deserves to be seen.
And heard.
And cared for.
Because everyone deserves to be seen. And heard. And cared for.
Our Mission
The Iris Center provides compassionate, inclusive, and patient-centered healthcare that is designed to be affordable, accessible, and affirming.
We ensure every individual receives high-quality, trauma-informed care without barriers, bias, or corporate interference, creating a healthcare experience where patients feel truly seen, heard, and valued.
Because healthcare should be about people, not paperwork.
Our Vision
We are here to prove that healthcare can work differently.
Through a simple, community-funded model, we make affirming, high-quality care accessible to anyone who walks through our doors without hidden costs, without corporate control, and without making identity or income a barrier.
We envision a world where every patient knows they matter, long before they fill out a form.
Our Model
Our model is simple.
People who believe in what we are building support it.
Through our community beneficiary program, donors commit to sustaining a system that prioritizes people over profit—supporting access, dignity, and the mission of affirming care for all.
This collective support makes it possible for us to offer transparent pricing, longer visits, and flexible access for patients who might otherwise face barriers to care.
Our Values
Radical Inclusivity
Healthcare should be a safe space for every identity, every body, every story.
Transparency and Affordability
No hidden fees. No fine print. Just clear, fair care.
Compassion in Action
Healing happens when patients are seen, heard, and honored as whole people.
Empowerment Through Care
We believe knowledge is power, and dignity is a right.
Patient-Centered, Corporate-Free Care
Your needs, not insurance claims, guide everything we do.
We’re working hard to open our doors in Fort Collins, and we need your help to make it happen. The Iris Center is more than a clinic. It’s a living example of how healthcare can change when people come first.
This is just the beginning.
Whether you are seeking care, hoping to support, or simply dreaming of a better way alongside us, there is a place for you here.
