Company History

Health by Design was founded in 1979 in San Antonio, Texas, by Dr. David Player shortly after his service in the U.S. Air Force. Early on, Dr. Player focused on obesity education, weight-loss programs, and preventive health, laying the foundation for a new way of caring for people that goes beyond treating symptoms.

In 1982, Health by Design began serving patients and employers with a vision to create meaningful, outcome-driven healthcare. Over the years, the organization expanded its services to include on-site and near-site primary care clinics, health and wellness assessments, chronic condition support, nutritional coaching, and concierge care — all designed to improve overall health, reduce costs, and foster long-term well-being.

Throughout its history, Health by Design has stayed true to its mission of whole-person care — emphasizing strong patient-provider relationships, personalized care plans, and prevention. In recent years, the organization has continued to grow and expanded its reach by integrating virtual care with traditional clinic services to deliver high-quality, accessible care for patients and employers alike.

Today, Health by Design is a trusted, faith-based healthcare partner committed to transforming the way healthcare is delivered — one patient, one employer, and one community at a time.
