Harper Health redefines membership medicine, one relationship at a time.

In Sarasota’s vibrant medical landscape, a new approach to healthcare is quietly changing the patient experience. Inside Harper Health’s sunlit office members find something less hurried and far more personal: time with a doctor who knows them, their story, and their concerns. “Our concierge model helps members achieve the health they deserve,” said Dr. Will Harper, who founded Harper Health in 2016 in the Chicago area.

Harper Health’s comprehensive approach combines both diagnostic and preventive care. As a member you experience a comprehensive 10-step annual physical (which is also available as a stand-alone Executive Physical), in-office testing and screenings— all in addition to consultations for your specific concerns.

And while the typical doctor’s office is open only eight hours a day, your Harper Health physician is always on call for you. If you have an urgent issue, you have direct access to your doctor, rather than relying on urgent care, the emergency department, or someone else who’s not familiar with your healthcare history.

“The practice emerged out of my desire to be the best doctor I could be for my patients, and I couldn’t do that in a system where I had thousands of patients,” said Dr. Harper.  “Our vision is to create this opportunity for other, like-minded physicians.” Today there are five Harper Health locations, including Sarasota, which was established in 2023.

Dr. Migdalia Merida, with deep roots in Sarasota, is the lead physician of Harper Health Sarasota. She believes in the concierge model because she knows that spending time with her members and creating a relationship with them only leads to better care.

“We’re here to guide them and be their partner in healthcare,” she said. This can entail helping members access specialists or help them discover ways to become healthier.

Imagine living with a health issue for years, visiting doctor after doctor, without getting answers. At Harper Health, that changes. Because your doctor has time to review your history in detail, connect you with the right specialists, and stay by your side, you finally get the answers—and the relief—you deserve.

“Dr. Merida is a godsend,” one patient said. “Over this last winter, she has provided the best of care while leading me along a path to health. Her diligence, intelligence and compassion took me from being quite ill to a now healthy life. She may be the best investment I ever made.”

Dr. Merida finds the Harper Health model rewarding every day.

“This is what I went to medical school for,” she said. “This is what I love to do.”
