" I was under Jason's care for 5-6 months while he was contracted through Northeastern rural health in susanville CA. I absolutely can't say enough GOOD about him. He is THE BEST healthcare provider I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He really listens, and goes above a beyond to make his patients feel heard, respected, and comfortable. He, unfortunately, didn't stay contracted in my area, but he's so great I am considering traveling a few HOURS just to stay on as his patient. 5/5 stars! "

"I came to Jason with pain in my foot so bad I thought that I had broken it. I could barely walk. He was able to quickly diagnose me with gout, and was able to quickly treat my symptoms and get me back on my feet. Better than that though, he pointed me towards resources that helped me make a lifestyle change in my diet and avoid trigger foods. Since then, I haven't had another flare up and I'm losing weight and living a healthier lifestyle. It's rare to find a care provider these days who isn't focused on the quick fix and a "turn and burn" mentality, and I'm grateful that I went to him for my care.

Jason Rogers, PA-C
President of Starlight Health
Jason Rogers is a Physician Associate who graduated from NOVA Southeastern University in Orlando, FL. He originally began his journey studying Aerospace Engineering with plans to work at NASA and the Space Shuttle program. In 2006 he experienced his own medical mishap and wound up needing 3 major surgeries over the next year. Shortly after, he switched to medicine and never looked back. He spent 2 years working as a medic at American Ambulance before going to PA school. After graduating in 2016 he began travel medicine where he was able to tour the country and experience as many different populations and specialties as he could. In his travels he got a wide array of experience in Pediatrics, Urgent Care, Family Practice, as well as significant experience in surgical procedures and chronic disease management. He has ultimately decided to open his practice in Fort Collins, CO
Jason’s approach to medicine began by being a patient first and seeing how rushed Doctors and inadequate time makes for poor healthcare. He has developed a unique style of medicine that makes sure each and every patient is afforded the time they need with their provider
Marie Vanacore, RN, BSN
Chief Operations Officer of Starlight Health
I’ve dedicated more than two decades to caring for patients of all ages, from pediatrics to geriatrics. My journey through healthcare—working as an MA, scribe, practice manager, foreign-trained physician, caregiver, and now RN—has given me a well-rounded perspective that I bring to both patients and our team. As COO of Starlight Health, I’m committed to creating a positive, team-focused environment where excellent care is the standard. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me reading, traveling, or trying out a new restaurant.
Medical Assistant
Rose Vanacore, MA
Full-time mom and professional chaos manager. Someone’s gotta keep the house (mostly) standing. I'm also a full-time student training to be a medical assistant, because who needs sleep anyway? Coffee is my co-pilot, and snacks are my love language, especially chocolate and cinnamon rolls.
I'm bilingual, which means I can say “no” in two languages... and still be ignored by toddlers. My days are powered by ambition, multitasking, and a suspicious amount of crumbs. Life’s a little wild, but I’m rolling with it, snacks in hand, of course.
