The Future of Primary Care: Why Traditional Healthcare Models Are Being Reinvented

In this episode, Jasmine sits down with Mark Moeremans, CEO of Spectrum Health, and Dr. Howard Grossman to talk about what patient-centered healthcare can actually look like.

Spectrum Health is a Phoenix-based primary care provider built around inclusive, personalized care. Originally created to meet the unique healthcare needs of the LGBTQ+ community and individuals living with HIV/AIDS, Spectrum has expanded its model to serve patients, families, and the broader Phoenix community.

Together, they discuss patient empowerment, the importance of provider-patient partnerships, why healthcare can’t be one-size-fits-all, sexual health and STI screening, end-of-life advocacy, clinician burnout, and how Spectrum is expanding its footprint in Phoenix.

They also share more about Spectrum Health’s upcoming move to a 22,000-square-foot facility at 3003 North Third Street, designed to expand access to care and create more space for community connection.

Topics covered:

• Patient-centered and personalized healthcare
