Exemplar Care launches 24/7 urgent care clinic
Friday, March 12, 2021 6:00 AM
A West Des Moines physician who is beginning his third year operating a direct primary care practice has now launched a 24-hour urgent care/extended care clinic as an additional service for his members, but the clinic will also provide a much-needed off-hours community resource to the public.
More than 500 Central Iowa patients are currently enrolled as members of Exemplar Care, a direct primary care practice established by Dr. Jon Van Der Veer in January 2019. The steady revenue stream from the flat fee member rates paid by his patients has made it possible for him to launch the 24/7 urgent care clinic. It’s located in an expanded facility he’s moved into at 7300 Westown Parkway, Suite 330. The urgent care clinic officially opened on Feb. 15.
