Founded in 1982 by Dr. David Player in San Antonio, TX, Health by Design successfully blends medical care, physician knowledge, and personalized care to provide quality health care for individuals, small businesses, and corporations; three of which are Fortune 500 companies, and four of which have earned their spot in Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For.
After 30 years as a kidney specialist for chronically ill patients, Dr. Player was convinced that people could live longer and healthier lives if they were provided access to a health care system that focused on prevention as well as meaningful and caring patient/physician relationships. Utilizing this unique approach to medical care, Health by Design physicians share a common philosophy of prevention, education and wellness. They perform comprehensive evaluations of a patient’s current condition to develop an individualized program that maximizes the quality of their care, health and lifestyle. In turn, this helps employers to reduce their health care costs, increase productivity, and take better control of their health care destiny.
The Health by Design team currently serves companies with more than 85,000 employees throughout Texas, the United States and abroad. In 2010, Health by Design was recognized at a Top Work Place by the San Antonio Express News.
