Company History

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.
