Cora Mattie, PA-C, MPAS

Cora discovered her love for medicine while studying exercise science and psychology at Colorado College. She earned her postgraduate degree in Physician Associate Studies from Pacific University in 2007 and passed the national exam to become a board-certified Physician Associate.

She spent her first five years treating acute conditions in urgent care and emergency medicine in an underserved area of Iowa. Since 2011, Cora shifted to family medicine where she focuses on preventive health and managing chronic illness.

After years of seeing 25-30 patients in primary care daily and 50 patients in 10-hour urgent care shifts, she realized traditional medicine had forgotten its core commitment to patient-centered care.

She created Balanced Healthcare to foster authentic patient relationships grounded in more one-on-one time, convenience, and accessibility.
