 Our Mission

To Guide You to a Healthier Life Through Easy Access to Superior Care When You Need It – Because You Matter

At Spear Direct Care, we believe the traditional “healthcare” system has become impersonal, expensive, and unsustainable. Patients spend too much money on subpar care, providers are burned out with unsustainable workloads, and insurance companies are more likely to provide obstacles than options.

The military term “tip of the spear” refers to an elite group of highly trained warriors. These warriors break through enemy defenses and clear a path for others to follow.

At Spear Direct Care, we are warriors breaking past the traditional healthcare system and spearheading an innovative model for healthcare – one that actually works.

Stop feeling like a number in a broken system that benefits by keeping you sick. Stop feeling like you don’t have a say in your care. Stop suffering because you can’t get care when you need it.

You deserve easy access to superior care when you need it. Enroll today and get on the path to a healthier life.

Nikki Parquette, MPAS, PA-C

Founder / CEO / Provider

 

After Nikki Parquette graduated from Illinois College with Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology, she saw a news report on the Afghanistan War that stated it was the first time since the Vietnam War that U.S. battlefield deaths were on the rise. The cause? U.S. Soldiers were dying on the battlefield because there were not enough combat medics providing care to Soldiers at the time of injury. THERE WAS NO ACCESS TO CARE. Knowing she could increase that access, she enlisted in the U.S. Army as a combat medic and provided much needed support to our troops.

Once she was in the medical system, she realized that too many sick and hurting people were receiving inferior and impersonal care. THERE WAS NO CLEAR PATH TO HEALTH. So, she earned a Master’s Degree through the Interservice Physician Assistant Program with the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Physician Assistant Studies and years later, opened Spear Direct Care. Through Spear, she can serve her community the best way she knows how; by guiding people to a healthier life through easy access to superior healthcare.
