What Makes Focused Health & Wellness Different?

Physician-led concierge primary care that blends the access of Direct Primary Care with the personal service of a smaller membership practice.

Focused Health & Wellness is a physician-led concierge primary care practice in Jefferson City, Missouri, founded by Dr. Lenora Epple, an Internal Medicine physician.

The practice is intentionally designed for patients who want more than a quick visit. Membership care allows for longer appointments, direct physician communication, and a more proactive approach to prevention, chronic disease, hormones, weight, mental health, and wellness.

For eligible members, care may also include home or workplace visits when clinically appropriate and when the schedule allows — a level of flexibility that helps care fit more naturally into real life.

Flexible care options

Members may have access to in-office visits, telehealth, and home or workplace visits depending on membership type, clinical need, location, and availability.

Is This Concierge Medicine or Direct Primary Care?

Focused Health & Wellness uses a direct-pay, membership-based primary care model. That means patients pay a membership fee directly to the practice instead of using insurance for membership care.

Some people call this Direct Primary Care. Some people call it concierge medicine. At Focused Health & Wellness, the goal is simple: more time, better access, transparent pricing, and a more personal relationship with your physician.

Membership is not insurance. Patients may still choose to use insurance separately for outside labs, imaging, medications, specialist care, hospital care, or other services when applicable.

What Membership-Based Primary Care Can Support

Instead of separating every concern into a different silo, membership care gives us room to look at how your health connects.

Primary care and prevention
Annual wellness visits, risk-factor review, medication management, screening guidance, and long-term health planning.

Chronic conditions
Support for blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, thyroid concerns, insulin resistance, and other ongoing health needs.

Hormones and midlife health
Care for perimenopause, menopause, testosterone concerns, fatigue, sleep changes, mood changes, and sexual wellness concerns.

Weight and metabolic health
Physician-guided support using nutrition, lifestyle, sleep, medications when appropriate, and body composition tracking.

Mental health and wellbeing
Thoughtful support for mood, stress, anxiety, sleep, medications when appropriate, and lifestyle factors that affect mental health.

Care That Can Meet You Where You Are

For eligible comprehensive members, home and workplace visits may be available when clinically appropriate and when the schedule allows.

This can be especially helpful for certain sick visits, follow-ups, family care needs, mobility challenges, or times when leaving home is difficult. It also allows care to feel more personal, practical, and connected to real life.

Availability may vary by membership type, location, schedule, visit type, and clinical need.
