All-in-one-spot North Carolina health provider poised to grow

Former hospital administrator Matt Person and his business partner, James Stevens, MD, are the driving forces behind the American Institute of Healthcare & Fitness, a Wal-Mart-size healthcare mall in North Raleigh, NC, that puts doctors, nutritionists, physical therapists, counselors, and a fitness center in one place. The mall’s concept is called integrative medicine, and it encourages teamwork among physicians and others who provide healthcare. The Institute has been open for more than a year, and now the two men are planning two smaller expansions.
