ABOUT Us

An innovative approach to healthcare

Medical services along the nation’s interstate highway system

OUR APPROACH

Meeting the needs of drivers and local communities

For too long the professional drivers on which the transportation industry depends  have been unable to reliably access healthcare. Drivers have had little choice but to delay or forgo the healthcare they need because traditional clinics and hospitals don’t have truck parking and taking time off the road to receive care feels risky. Interstate Health is on a mission to change that.

Located on the sites of large travel centers across the United States, clinics will be state-of-the-art, free standing facilities, centrally supported by a 24/7 corporate office.

Key Details:

  • A three phase rollout plan will ultimately launch 300 facilities within the next six years.
  • Facility locations based on data analysis (truck route density, travel center capacity, residential demographics, etc.) and the formation of strategic partnerships.
  • Our team represents extensive experience in both healthcare & transportation industries.
  • We have multiple strategic partnerships already in place including motor carriers and travel center companies.
  • We are equipped with a master technology plan to effectively utilize integrations & data to enhance continuity of care, effectiveness and patient convenience.
