Background and History
Impact Family Wellness was founded by Monica McKitterick, FNP-BC, after a decade in the traditional insurance-based healthcare system left her frustrated and unable to provide the kind of care she believed in. Seeing 30+ patients per day and spending only 3–5 minutes with each one was, in her words, “not why she went into healthcare.” After relocating to Texas and discovering the Direct Primary Care model, she opened Impact Family Wellness in Cedar Park, starting with just 23 patients.
The practice grew steadily through word-of-mouth and community engagement. By 2021, the practice had expanded to multiple locations. By the time of her feature in the Nursepreneurs podcast, she had grown to over 800 members. Today the practice serves over 1,800 members across three locations.
Key milestones:
- 2019 — Cedar Park location opened (per Community Impact newspaper, March 2019)
- 2020 — Named Best of the Best
- 2023 — Featured speaker at Hint Health DPC Summit
- 2024 — Thorndale location opened (March 2024), absorbing the former Country Meadows Clinic under provider Courtney Paulsen
- 2024 — Featured in Community Impact newspaper’s feature on DPC practices in the Cedar Park/Leander/Liberty Hill area
Monica has since launched The DPC Formula (dpcformula.com) — a training and consulting program for healthcare providers wanting to replicate the DPC model — and has been featured on more than a dozen podcasts and media outlets discussing healthcare transformation.

Testimonials and Quotes
The following testimonials are sourced from the Impact Family Wellness website, Thorndale location page, Liberty Hill location page, and Yelp:
- “Impact Family Wellness is absolutely incredible! This is what healthcare is supposed to be like! Each of their providers takes so much time and such attention to detail with history, challenges and concerns. They are so responsive to any needs and truly look at the whole picture with each patient. My whole family sees them and we couldn’t be happier with the attentive, professional and supportive care we receive! They have gone out of their way, above and beyond to address our concerns — it is a breath of fresh air having access to great care.” — Leah F., September 2023
- “Courtney is hands down the best family care provider I have ever seen. Her common sense approach to health, her willingness to listen and take her time, and the genuine love and care she has for her patients isn’t something you find very often in medicine anymore. My family is very grateful for her.” — Thorndale patient, impactfamilywellness.com
- “My 1st appointment with Megan was great! She made me feel very comfortable and educated me on some of the medications I’m currently taking that I wasn’t aware of. They make it so easy to make appointments and if you are better with texting they offer that as well which is a huge plus!” — Liberty Hill patient, impactfamilywellness.com
- “Quite possibly the best provider I’ve ever had. From having to see 3-4 providers from different specialties to being able to just have one for everything is great. Truly worth it.” — Liberty Hill patient, impactfamilywellness.com
- “Wonderful, caring, quick response times, always attentive to your health concerns and get you to the specialists when needed, very pleased, wonderful clinic.” — Liberty Hill patient, impactfamilywellness.com
Monica McKitterick on founding Impact Family Wellness: “I have been a nurse practitioner for over 12 years and spent the first ten years employed in the insurance-based healthcare system. Unfortunately, I learned that this business isn’t about taking care of people; it’s all about taking care of insurance companies. I would see 30+ patients/day and spend very little time actually listening and understanding their concerns.” — VoyageAustin
