Zoya Health Collective

The Collective

Founded On the Belief That Everyone Deserves Care That Sees Them

Body, mind, and spirit. That belief brought four founders together in Spokane to build the practice they always wanted to work in.

Our story

Why Zoya Was Created

Zoya's founders have spent decades in women's health, psychiatry, behavioral health, and healthcare operations, and they kept seeing the same gaps. Not enough time with patients. Care scattered across systems that never talked to one another. Clinicians stretched well past what's sustainable.

Zoya Health Collective is their answer: specialized medicine and lifestyle care brought together in one supportive setting. Patients receive care that truly connects, and providers finally have an environment built to support them too.

Mission

To deliver a collaborative healthcare model that prioritizes the well-being of patients, providers, and staff, integrating specialized medicine and lifestyle care within a restorative, wellness-driven environment.

Vision

To cultivate the healthcare we have always imagined, not simply a clinic, but a new model of care that unites medicine, lifestyle, and human experience in one supportive ecosystem, woven together by the clinicians, staff, and community it serves.

Spokane roots

Part of This Community

Zoya is rooted in downtown Spokane, where its founders have spent years building relationships throughout the local healthcare community. Those relationships help patients find the right care, help providers find a place where they belong, and keep Zoya grounded in the community it calls home.
