Cora Mattie, PA-C, MPAS

Cora Mattie is a board-certified Physician Associate and the founder of Balanced Healthcare in Denver, Colorado.

Her path into medicine began at Colorado College, where she studied exercise science and psychology, and continued at Pacific University, where she earned her postgraduate degree in Physician Associate Studies in 2007 before passing the national exam. She spent her first five years in urgent care and emergency medicine, treating acute conditions in an underserved part of Iowa, then moved into family medicine in 2011 with a focus on preventive health and managing chronic illness.

Seeing 25 to 30 patients a day in primary care, and as many as 50 during 10-hour urgent care shifts, left her convinced that traditional medicine had drifted from patient-centered care. That realization led her to start Balanced Healthcare, built around real one-on-one time, convenience, and accessibility for her patients.
