Nashville Business Journal Features Premise Health CEO Stu Clark on Future Plans to Disrupt the Healthcare Ecosystem

“We’re going to have a big transformation in the healthcare system over the next five to ten years,” Clark told the Business Journal. “It is simply unaffordable for employers and for families now to get benefit coverage. We’re going to enter an era where the employer is going to start making benefit design decisions and structural decisions based on quality and accountability and cost.”  

Clark’s vision for Premise Health includes doubling down on the company’s core business: primary care. With employers looking for new ways to respond to rising costs, Premise will look to expand advanced primary care programs, impact specialty and acute care costs through care navigation and care management, and become the center of the healthcare plan for employers. The reason Premise’s model is successful, Clark notes, is due to its models of care and reimbursement being directly tied to employers and their people, saying, “When you get paid directly by the employer, you can focus on the patient.” 

Clark remarks that over the past five years the company has experienced its most aggressive growth, now operating more than 850 wellness centers nationwide and approaching roughly $1.5 billion in revenue in 2024.
