We’re solving healthcare challenges for our patients and our community. This means that we don’t always take the easiest road forward. We continually seek to improve the quality of care by providing innovative solutions.
for our patients, our community, and each other. We respectfully listen and meet people where they are. We provide the right care in the right place at the right time every time.
by treating every patient and team member like family. We always do the next right thing. We assume good intentions.
by impacting lives when providing care. We embrace our own unique talents. We smile and make work fun!
by innovating and iterating. We are open to new ideas and new ways. We ask questions, keep learning, and gain understanding.
Exemplar Care is a privately owned and operated healthcare organization headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa. Dr. Jon Van Der Veer, DO, founder, and physician, began his adult medicine practice in a conventional way. He quickly identified that he wasn’t fulfilled with the “assembly line” approach to care and he had a vision to do things differently. Inspired by the direct primary care model, he found a way to treat people not symptoms. This approach improves healthcare outcomes and reduces the cost of care.
