My grandmother, Rae, was the kind of person who made everyone feel seen.
She had a warmth that could fill a room, a laugh that was contagious, and a
spirit that believed in the goodness of people. When we founded Arrae Health,
we named our practice in her honor—because her story, and the way we lost her,
changed everything for me.
It was on the cusp of 2020, just as the world was about to change. My grandmother,
a diabetic living in Mississippi, wasn’t feeling well. She did what so many of us do—she called her doctor. Her doctor referred her to the emergency room.
She went. She waited. And she waited some more.
Sitting in her room, hour after hour, test after test, while getting up to use
the restroom, she fell. The fall broke her hip, extending her stay in the hospital.
The next morning, while taking her medication, she choked on a pill.
And just like that, she was gone.
She Wasn’t Alone. And That’s Why We’re Here.
In the aftermath of that loss, I couldn’t stop thinking about one thing: my
grandmother was not alone. Her story isn’t unique. Every day, people—our
parents, our neighbors, our friends—fall through the cracks of a healthcare
system that has forgotten something fundamental: caring matters.
It doesn’t show up on a billing code. It doesn’t get reimbursed. But it saves lives.
My grandmother deserved better. She deserved a doctor that would see her when
she called, who would take the time to listen. She deserved what healthcare
used to be—and what it should be again.
That’s why Arrae Health exists.
Old-School Heart. Modern-Day Care.
We started with a focus on seniors, because I saw firsthand how vulnerable they
can be. But we quickly realized something important: everyone deserves this kind
of care. Young or old, healthy or managing chronic conditions, we all want the same things:
At Arrae Health, we’re bringing that back. We combine the personal touch of
old-school medicine with the tools and technology of today. Although we aren’t
perfect, we make every attempt to answer our phones and see our patients.
We take the time to listen, to explain, to care—because that’s what makes all
the difference.
Join Us in This Mission
Whether you’re looking for a primary care home where you’re treated like family,
or you’re a healthcare professional who believes medicine should be about people,
not just protocols—we want you with us.
This is more than a practice. It’s a promise.
A promise that no one should feel invisible in a waiting room. That no one should
be sent away when they need help. That caring will always matter here—even when
it’s hard, even when the system doesn’t reward it.
Because my grandmother Rae taught me that people matter. And every single day at
Arrae Health, we practice in her spirit.
Welcome to a place where you’re not just a patient. You’re family.
