SPECK HEALTH PS

What SPECK HEALTH PS does

Speck Health PS is a privately held concierge cardiology and internal medicine professional services corporation headquartered at 2150 N 107th Street, Suite 205, in Seattle, Washington. The practice delivers cardiovascular disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment alongside internal medicine primary care, anchored by Dr. Sarah M. Speck (CEO, cardiologist with over 20 years of Seattle practice experience and Medical Director roles at Swedish Heart and Vascular Institute and the Dean Ornish Program) and supported by Dr. Cheryl Jacobs (internal medicine), an exercise physiologist, nurse, medical assistant, and office manager — a seven-person team. Core offerings span cardiovascular health services, stroke and heart attack prevention, executive health and fitness assessments, personalized health assessments with ECG-monitored cardiopulmonary exercise testing, sports cardiology screening for athletes, women's heart disease programs, family history risk screening, and firefighter medical fitness assessments compliant with ACE and IAFF standards.

The practice operates a vertically integrated care model that pairs clinical medicine with an in-office fitness lab featuring VO2 max testing, CIMT (carotid intimal medial thickness) ultrasound, ECG monitoring, and metabolic testing, augmented by the co-founded POTENTRx medical fitness company (established 2009 with Dan G. Tripps, Ph.D.) which provides exercise physiology, nutritional counseling, and lifestyle coaching. The underlying technology stack is conventional healthcare IT: Athenahealth powers the patient portal for medical records access, appointment scheduling, billing, and secure messaging. There is no proprietary AI/ML, no mobile application, no public API, and no patents or trademarks on file.

The business model is hybrid and B2C-direct: a deliberately limited-panel monthly membership subscription for enhanced primary care with 24/7 physician access; traditional fee-for-service cardiology and internal medicine visits (accepting most major insurance plans); and fee-based professional services for executive assessments, firefighter certifications, and personalized health evaluations. Go-to-market relies on the practice's website (doctorspeck.com), educational blog content, organic SEO, patient testimonials, healthcare provider referrals, and word-of-mouth within the Seattle metro area. The practice serves patients throughout the Greater Seattle region exclusively from its single Northgate office location.
