Our Story

Where Wellness & Health Meet

WellHealthe was founded on a simple belief: healthcare should make room for the whole person, not just the concern that brought them into the office. We aim to provide thoughtful, accessible care that looks at medical needs, daily habits, personal goals, and long-term well-being together.

Our approach puts primary care first. Through ongoing relationships, preventive visits, chronic condition management, and practical health guidance, we help patients make informed decisions and take meaningful steps toward better health.

Our Mission

To deliver personalized, evidence-informed primary care that connects medical treatment, prevention, and lifestyle medicine—empowering patients to participate actively in their long-term health.

Meet Your Provider

Meet Matthew: A Coachella Valley Local

Matthew Keane, MSPA, PA-C, is the founder of WellHealthe and a board-certified physician assistant with 17 years of clinical experience. A Coachella Valley resident for 40 years and a graduate of Palm Springs High School, Matthew has deep roots in the community he serves.

Matthew’s passion is taking time to listen to patients and help them understand how nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, and other lifestyle changes can address underlying contributors to chronic disease. He founded WellHealthe to bring that personalized, prevention-focused approach to his community.

Outside the clinic, Matthew enjoys reading, spending time at the beach, traveling, exploring new foods, and being with his wife and four children. For him, the Coachella Valley is more than where he practices medicine—it is home. His goal is to help improve the health of the community that has shaped his life.

He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from California State University, San Bernardino, and a Master of Physician Assistant Studies from Western University of Health Sciences in 2009. He also served for 12 years as a medical officer in the California Army National Guard, including a deployment to the Middle East and service in California during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A Letter From Matthew

Why I Founded WellHealthe

I founded WellHealthe because I believe healthcare should be personal.

Throughout my career as a physician assistant, I’ve seen how healthcare has become increasingly focused on treating symptoms, managing medications, and moving quickly from one appointment to the next. While these are important parts of medicine, I believe something essential is often missing: the relationship between the patient and their healthcare provider.

My vision for WellHealthe is to bring back a more traditional, personalized approach to medicine. I often think about the days when the family doctor arrived at your doorstep carrying a black medical bag, knew you by name, understood your family, and was someone you trusted with your health. That’s the kind of relationship I want to build with my patients.

I want WellHealthe to be a true medical home—a place where patients feel comfortable seeking care for an unexpected illness, managing a chronic condition, or simply having a conversation about how to improve their health.

I’m also passionate about looking beyond symptoms to understand the underlying factors contributing to chronic disease. Through lifestyle medicine, preventive care, and patient education, I want to help people understand how their daily choices can influence their health and empower them to make meaningful, lasting changes.

Having called the Coachella Valley home for 40 years, this mission is especially personal to me. I want to help build a healthier community by providing the kind of thoughtful, relationship-based healthcare I believe every patient deserves.

WellHealthe is my vision of what primary care can be: personal, accessible, preventive, and built on a relationship that lasts.

Insurance & the DPC Model

Common Questions

Do you accept insurance?

No, we operate on a Direct Primary Care model to provide more time and direct access. Many members pair this with a high-deductible plan for catastrophic coverage.

Can I use my HSA/FSA?

Yes. WellHealthe membership fees may be eligible for payment or reimbursement through a Health Savings Account (HSA). Recent federal changes have expanded HSA eligibility for Direct Primary Care membership fees.

Flexible Spending Account (FSA) eligibility may depend on your specific plan and the services provided. We recommend checking with your FSA administrator to confirm coverage.

What happens if I need a specialist?

We coordinate closely with specialists and help navigate your care outside the clinic, acting as your primary advocate in the healthcare system.

Is this concierge medicine?

Not exactly. WellHealthe uses a Direct Primary Care (DPC) model. You pay a simple membership fee for enhanced access to your provider, longer visits, and personalized primary care. Unlike many concierge practices, DPC is designed around straightforward, transparent pricing without billing insurance for your routine primary care.
