Takes Partnership HealthPlan of California (Medi-Cal managed care)
Churn Creek Healthcare is a tribal health clinic in Redding and part of the Redding Rancheria Tribal Health System, and Cooper is one of its family practice clinicians. It opened in 2015 and serves Native American and non-Native patients across Shasta County and Trinity County. Care runs as ordinary family practice with same-day urgent care alongside it, and the clinic stays open into the early evening on weekdays. Getting in works differently from most practices. A new patient has to be assigned to this clinic as their primary clinic by their health plan before the clinic can take them, so the front desk is not where you start. The clinic publishes nothing about menopause or hormone care and Cooper has no bio on the site, so what she does for midlife patients is not described anywhere.
Intentional Wellness Center is a small Redding practice led by two physicians, Dr. Warren and Dr. McClelland, and hormone care sits alongside weight management and the center's aesthetic and surgical work. For menopause they use bioidentical hormones given as pellets, creams, injections or capsules, picked after a full lab panel and a symptom review. The first consultation runs about an hour, labs are rechecked around week six and then yearly, and pellet appointments come round every four to six months. Follow-ups are monthly in the first few months and spread out once things are steady. Women need an up to date mammogram and gynecological exam before they can start hormone therapy. There is no online booking, so a new patient starts by calling or emailing the office.
