HELPcare Clinic adds Nurse Practitioner

By Lee Aase • May 12, 2022

HELPcare Clinic in Austin took a significant step forward today as Stephanie Kimmes, APRN, CNP joined the team as the second provider.

Stephanie is certified as a nurse practitioner in both pediatrics and family medicine. In this video she introduces herself and why she's excited to be providing care at HELPcare Clinic:

Having Stephanie working an average of two days a week will enable us to see members more quickly for timely needs, because in addition to Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturday mornings we'll also be able to have some Monday and Tuesday appointments.

HELPcare Clinic uses a membership model and doesn't take insurance, which keeps cost lower so we can pass those savings on to the members. Membership includes unhurried primary care services with no per-visit fee as well as 60 of the most commonly needed diagnostic blood tests at no extra charge. It also includes metabolic health coaching for those interested in lifestyle changes to improve their health.

But most important, with HELPcare Clinic you get an ongoing relationship with a doctor or other provider you know and who knows you.

Corporate discounts also are available for employers to provide an affordable health benefit to their employees.
