Dr. John Sanders, family physician and founder of Voyage Clinics, shares his mission to “fix healthcare” by addressing the flaws in cost, complexity, and access that plague the current system. Unlike traditional models that rush patient visits, Voyage Clinics emphasizes extended, personal interactions—often 30 to 60 minutes—so physicians can truly understand patients’ needs. This deeper relationship fosters trust, better diagnoses, and affordable pathways for care, from preventative screenings to urgent procedures.
Through a series of real patient stories, Dr. John illustrates how his clinic model benefits both individuals and businesses. For example, patients save hundreds of dollars on labs, imaging, pathology, and prescriptions compared to traditional insurance. Small businesses also find value in Voyage Clinics’ membership model, which provides employees with comprehensive, affordable care and helps reduce costly workers’ compensation claims. Advocacy is another central theme—Dr. John ensures patients receive appropriate attention from specialists and helps them navigate a complex system where cost and access often overshadow care.
Beyond the exam room, Dr. John highlights the importance of holistic approaches, including lifestyle and nature medicine. He shares personal experiences and evidence showing that time in nature reduces stress, improves cardiovascular health, and grounds people emotionally. This philosophy ties into Voyage Clinics’ mission of restoring humanity to healthcare—providing accessibility, advocacy, affordability, and a compassionate partnership that empowers patients to thrive physically and emotionally.
