Everyone has a healthcare story; from triumphant interventions to heartbreaking diagnoses, we are all shaped and unified by our healthcare experiences. For John Collier, the Founder & CEO of Proactive MD, this is all too familiar. After going through a devastating family crisis as a young man, John witnessed firsthand the difficulties of navigating the complex healthcare system but found his hope for healthcare restored as he saw the transformative power of primary care advocating for patients in need. That experience set the trajectory for his career—finding ways to put primary care back at the center of patients’ healthcare and redefine the patient-provider relationship.

In 2015, John founded Proactive MD, aiming to collaborate with employers in delivering broad-scope, Advanced Primary Care to thousands of patients nationwide. Since then, Proactive MD has pioneered the role of the Patient Advocate to come alongside patients in navigating their healthcare journey. What started with serving two manufacturers in South Carolina has evolved into a nationwide presence, now assisting hundreds of employers across numerous states.

In recent years, Proactive MD has made substantial investments in working with forward-thinking employers, health plans, and TPAs to bring true, value-based care to the employer market. This underscores our belief that when patients have convenient access to Health Centers staffed with compassionate providers and care teams, and those teams are empowered with the time and freedom to provide whole person care, the impact on both health outcomes and healthcare costs is remarkable. As an industry leader, Proactive MD possesses the vision, analytical capabilities, and operational acumen to excel in shared risk and value-based arrangements.

The future of healthcare holds boundless potential, and at Proactive MD, we are eager to continue playing a pivotal role in shaping that future, driven by a passion for innovation and a dedication to enhancing the patient experience.
