David Martin, MD, is the founder and creator of Horizon Health. It is his belief that healthcare should be, and can be, delivered in a much more proactive and impactful way. The goal should be to create strategies that allow people to live longer WITHOUT disease, rather than settling for living longer with disease.
In order for this to be achieved, the different fields of healthcare practices should be brought together and not forced to compete with each other. The assimilation of traditional medicine and holistic practices is the key to unlocking a powerful healthcare delivery model.
Dr. Martin is a native of East Texas having grown up in Tyler, TX. He earned Student Athlete of the Year honors playing Division I college basketball while majoring in biochemistry at Texas A&M University.
He then completed medical school at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. From there, he went on to complete a family practice residency (with a focus on sports medicine) at the Reading Hospital in Reading, PA. After residency, Dr. Martin served as one of the team doctors for Texas A&M University Athletic Department.
He has over 15 years of experience in private practice. In addition to this, he has over a decade worth of perioperative and hospital practice.
With his experience and intricate knowledge of how healthcare is delivered, Dr. Martin has committed himself to making a difference…a real, impactful difference. His vision is to give the power of healthcare back to the patient.
By focusing on healthspan, not simply lifespan, a person can maintain a much higher quality and fulfilling life for longer. This requires education, strategies, work and experts who have a passion for changing lives. And this is what Horizon Health was created to do.
