January Newsletter
Holiday Hours
As we approach the end of the year, we want to make you aware of our upcoming holiday schedule.
Our office will be closed from December 24th through January 2nd so our team can enjoy time with their families and recharge for the new year.
We will reopen with normal office hours beginning Monday, January 5th.
Thank you for your understanding, and we hope you have a joyful, restful holiday season.
WE ARE MOVING!
We’re excited to share some big news! Direct Family Care of NoCO will be moving from Suite 1 to Suite 5 — our beautiful new garden-level suite. 🌿✨
This refreshed space will allow us to expand, elevate your experience, and continue providing the personalized, patient-centered care you trust.
We anticipate making the move the last week of December, so will have limited access that week for acute appointments only - please plan accordingly. We’re truly thrilled for this next chapter and can’t wait to welcome you into our new home. 💜
Medications
Please give us 7-14 days for medication refills to ensure we have them in stock
Refills Made Easy
The quickest and most reliable way to request prescription refills is through Spruce. When reaching out, please include:
~The name of the medication
~The dose
~Where you’d like the prescription sent — from us directly or to your preferred pharmacy
This helps us process your request smoothly and without delays.
As part of our yearly chart review, we’re updating patient demographics. This includes your address, phone number, email, insurance, and emergency contacts. Keeping this information current helps us provide safe, accurate, and timely care.
Meet Stephane PA-C
Stephane earned her bachelor’s degree in molecular biology from CU Boulder and completed her Master of Medical Science at Yale School of Medicine. She is passionate about family medicine and values caring for patients from all walks of life.
Stephane believes health looks different for everyone and enjoys meeting patients where they are, collaborating on care plans, and making complex medical topics easy to understand.
Outside the clinic, she enjoys sustainable horticulture, creative projects (especially ceramics), international service work, and spending time with her husband, two sons, and their tiny ducks.
Stephane is thrilled to be joining our team this January and is eager to begin meeting patients and supporting their care.

Continuing to Build with Dr. Lentz
January always invites reflection, but this year it also marks an exciting new chapter for our clinic.
As we step into the new year, we are doing so with fresh space, renewed purpose, and a deep sense of gratitude. Our recent clinic move represents more than a change of address — it reflects our ongoing commitment to building a place where thoughtful, relationship-based care can truly thrive.
Mid-January, Todd and I will be traveling to Jamaica from January 17–24 to serve on a medical mission that is very close to our hearts. I will be providing healthcare to local patients, while Todd will be helping rebuild homes and an orphanage we support following the devastation caused by the recent hurricane. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve in this way and to be part of the ongoing restoration work in that community.
During this time, I’m pleased to share that Stephane, our newest team member, will be in the office helping ensure continuity of care. Please note that the clinic will be fully closed on January 22, and we appreciate your understanding during that day.
As part of our continued efforts to support you practically, I’m also happy to share two important updates. Due to recent changes in legislation, HSA funds may now be used for our services, offering greater flexibility for many patients. In addition, all patients of our clinic have access to GoodBill.com, a service that helps review hospital bills for errors and assists with negotiating charges when appropriate — an invaluable resource in today’s complex healthcare system.
This year, my hope is that our clinic continues to be a place where you feel supported, empowered, and strengthened — not just medically, but holistically. Thank you for trusting us with your care and for being part of this growing community. I’m looking forward to all that we will build together in the year ahead.
With gratitude and anticipation,
—Dr. Lentz
