About Aspire Family Medical
At Aspire Family Medical in Liberty Hill, TX, we believe wellness is a comprehensive, dynamic state in which to continue making improvements information must be received to increase knowledge and skills. Our mission is to provide affordable, accessible, personalized healthcare, and ensure our patients are well-informed and educated about their wellness options.
We are a Direct Primary Care (aka DPC) clinic also allowing for care under a traditional insurance plan. Direct Primary Care is a membership-based model of healthcare where patients pay a monthly membership fee to gain access to primary care services from our providers. DPC clinics are a fast-growing model of care aimed at providing high-quality, personalized care that is accessible, affordable, and personalized. We call our Direct Primary Care without insurance our Aspire Care Plan.
Regardless of insurance coverage, every patient becomes a member of Aspire Family Medical with several advantages over regular primary care visits. For our Aspire Care Plan, the monthly cost encompasses all appointments, with the exception of additional needed testing, medications, and specialty services. We aim to keep our overhead costs low which, in turn, keeps costs more affordable for patients. A set of annual labs is included with your yearly membership, and additional labs and imaging are significantly cheaper than what you would pay through insurance, resulting in more cost savings to you. Your membership at Aspire is a way to save money while getting more personalized, accessible, and thorough health care.

Mary Keith, CMA
Mary was first drawn to healthcare as a senior at Leander High School. During high school she became a Fire Explorer with Cedar Park Fire Department initially as a bet that she couldn't handle it. She exceled, became Lieutenant Fire Explorer, and enjoyed learning and assisting with training her crew. While learning emergency care with her fire department training her life-long goal to provide healthcare was further intensified. She married her high school sweetheart and started a family. She put her dream career on hold while raising her children and was finally able to go back to school in 2010. She graduated from Virginia College as a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant and Certified Phlebotomy Technician.
After graduation, she worked in Urgent Care and Obstetrics and Gynecology before finding her home in Family Medicine. She loves Family Medicine because she enjoys building long-term relationships with the families in her care. After working in healthcare for 14 years, she has learned that there is more to taking care of people than just a diagnosis. For Mary, patient teaching is at the core of her care, because she believes it is very important patients understand their medical condition and care plan. She believes every patient needs the same compassionate care that we would give our families.
In her free time, she loves to garden, read, explore new adventures, travel with her 3 daughters, play with her fur babies, and babysit for her grand dogs.
