Company History
Exemplar Care is a 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. “Our model of care is focused on price transparency, affordability, access, and convenience,” states Dr. Van Der Veer. Our priority is putting our members first.
We go one step further than most Direct Primary Care clinics by offering 24/7 urgent care and making sure that all our on-site services are included in membership. And the best part? Our members not only feel happier and healthier, but they’re also saving money compared to the traditional approach.
