Next Health, the most advanced and comprehensive brand of health optimization and longevity centers in the world, empowers individuals with the tools, data, and personalized healthcare to potentially live healthier for longer.
With 70+ locations open or in development worldwide, the company is bringing cutting-edge services – such as biomarker testing, advanced IV therapies, hormone optimization, and therapeutic plasma exchange – into communities eager for a new approach to health.
In Tennessee, that story is unfolding in Nashville, where four Next Health centers are planned: one already open in The Gulch, which was named Best Integrative Medical Practice in Nashville, another opening soon in Green Hills, and two additional locations to follow. Together, they will establish Nashville as one of the most concentrated markets for proactive healthcare in the country.
For Next Health founder and CEO, Darshan Shah, MD, the mission is deeply personal: “Healthcare should not be about waiting until you’re sick to act. We created Next Health to give people access to advanced testing and time with medical providers to identify risk factors early and optimize their current health.”
Medicine 4.0 is the foundation of Next Health’s model: a revolutionary approach to care that blends longevity medicine, preventive medicine, lifestyle medicine, and functional medicine into one patient experience. Unlike traditional “sick care,” which treats problems once they appear, Medicine 4.0 gives every patient access to diagnostic blood work and direct guidance from a provider to anticipate risks early and build personalized, sustainable health plans. Patients at Next Health can have a trusted partner to help them better understand risks, support energy and recovery, and pursue long-term vitality. Rather than accepting ‘normal’ lab ranges as good enough, Next Health focuses on helping patients reach optimal levels – the ranges most closely associated with peak health and longevity.
Two of the leaders behind Next Health in Music City are Scott and Kim Crosbie, seasoned entrepreneurs who are the area developers for Next Health in Nashville. As the Crosbies see it, Nashville’s immediate embrace of Next Health is about more than access to new services – it’s about redefining the patient-provider relationship. “Medicine 4.0 is proactive and participatory. Patients aren’t just given prescriptions; they’re invited into the process, educated on their data, and empowered by providers who care deeply about their long-term success.”
Kim Crosbie emphasizes that the benefits of Next Health have a ripple effect throughout the community: “Each Next Health center brings around a dozen highly sought-after jobs in the medical and wellness fields – roles that offer a peaceful environment and more standard hours than traditional healthcare settings. By opening multiple centers here, we’re building hubs of empowerment that support both our employees and our community in living better.”
Her husband, Scott, agrees, adding that the personal touch matters as much as the science: “People want to know they’re not alone on their health journey. Next Health offers data and technology, yes, but also a team of expert providers and staff who are invested in each patient’s success and cultivate a long-term relationship with them. That combination is what makes this brand so powerful.”
This expansion aligns with a national and global trend: individuals are increasingly seeking out advanced solutions for longevity, driven by both necessity and aspiration.
For Crosbie, the opportunity is both personal and strategic: “What excites me most about Next Health is its potential to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives, including my own. We all want to live long enough to enjoy our families, careers, and our passions – but more importantly, we want to feel good while doing it. Next Health gives us all the tools to take control of our health proactively, empowering us with data and access to services that can make a positive impact on our health span. Kim and I feel the difference, and so do our families – it’s a gift to experience what living with optimized health feels like, rather than just ‘okay.’”
With a presence already established in Southern California, New York, Chicago, Maui, Dubai, and more, Next Health’s entrance into Nashville represents the blending of global innovation with local passion. As Dr. Shah concludes, “At Next Health, we believe that health is not merely the absence of disease, but the abundance of vitality.” With its roots in global innovation and its heart in local communities, Next Health is redefining what it means to take charge of one’s health journey.
