Mt. Vernon Clinic Launches Atlas 70 Lab Panel and GLP-1 Weight Loss Program

Knox County Clinic Offers Root-Cause Medicine With Atlas 70 Panel, GLP-1, and Hormone Therapy

Mount Vernon, United States – June 3, 2026 / Atlas Health + Wellness /

Atlas Health + Wellness has officially launched its Atlas 70 lab panel and GLP-1 medical weight loss program at its Mount Vernon, Ohio clinic, marking a deliberate expansion of functional and root-cause care in Knox County. The announcement comes alongside a community outreach initiative that includes summer billboard placements, participation in First Fridays events, and partnerships with local businesses across the region.

A 70-Point Lab Panel Designed to Find Answers, Not Just Treat Symptoms

At the center of the launch is the Atlas 70, a comprehensive 70-point lab panel that forms the foundation of care at the practice. Rather than ordering a standard panel that checks only a handful of markers, the Atlas 70 evaluates a broad range of biomarkers to help clinicians and patients understand the underlying factors contributing to fatigue, weight gain, hormone imbalance, and other chronic concerns. Patients receive a personalized wellness roadmap based on their results – a structured plan that guides treatment decisions rather than relying on generalized protocols.

Founder Kori Kirkhope, APRN-CNP, designed the clinic model around this diagnostic approach after recognizing a gap in how conventional care addressed chronic health complaints. The practice, located at 135 S. Main Street, Mount Vernon, Ohio, is structured to give patients both the data and the support needed to make informed decisions about their health.

“Root-cause medicine changes everything about how a patient understands their own body,” said Kori Kirkhope, APRN-CNP, Founder of Atlas Health + Wellness. “The Atlas 70 panel gives us a real picture of what is happening beneath the surface, and from there we can build a plan that actually addresses the source of the problem rather than managing symptoms indefinitely.”

GLP-1 Weight Loss and Hormone Optimization Available in Mount Vernon

The launch also formally introduces medical weight loss in Mt. Vernon, OH through GLP-1 therapy – a clinically supported approach to weight management that works by regulating appetite and metabolic signaling. For residents who have struggled with conventional weight loss methods, the program offers a supervised, medication-assisted pathway that is tailored to each patient’s lab results and health history.

Alongside GLP-1 therapy, Atlas Health + Wellness offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for patients dealing with hormonal decline or imbalance. IV therapy is also available for patients looking to address nutrient deficiencies or support recovery. The clinic additionally provides Emsella, a non-invasive treatment targeting pelvic floor health – a service that addresses a common but underserved concern for both men and women.

The combination of services reflects a deliberate effort to create a single access point for root-cause medicine Knox County residents have not previously had close to home.

Summer Outreach Connects the Clinic to the Knox County Community

The service launch is paired with a community presence campaign that takes the practice’s message beyond its clinic walls. Billboard placements across the Mount Vernon area are introducing residents to the Atlas 70 panel and the broader care model. The team is also setting up a booth at First Fridays—the monthly community event that draws foot traffic to downtown Mount Vernon – to speak directly with neighbors about what root-cause care involves and who it is designed to help.

Local business partnerships are another component of the outreach strategy, allowing the clinic to connect with community members through trusted relationships that already exist in the area.

Hanna Ford, Director of Operations, emphasized that the outreach is as much about education as it is about visibility.

“Many people in Knox County have never had access to this kind of care without driving to Columbus or beyond,” said Hanna Ford, Director of Operations of Atlas Health + Wellness. “We want people to know this type of care is available right here and that there is a team ready to actually listen and work through the answers with them.”
