The HealthHub Difference
Welcome to Health Hub Clinic—where experience, innovation, and personalized care come together to support healthier lives.
About Me
I'm a serial entrepreneur and practicing clinical radiologist with a deep-rooted passion for transforming healthcare. My journey in medicine began at the University of Iowa, where I earned my medical degree and later completed both my residency and fellowship training at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, specializing in Musculoskeletal (MSK) Radiology.
Background
Before focusing on radiology, I spent the first three years of my career as an emergency room physician. That hands-on, fast-paced experience sharpened my ability to make quick, informed clinical decisions and deepened my understanding of frontline patient care. I also completed a family medicine internship, which gave me a broad, whole-person perspective on health—an approach that continues to shape how I practice and lead today.
Visionary
Bringing together the precision of diagnostic radiology with the insight of a seasoned clinician, I founded Health Hub Clinic with a vision: to offer integrated, patient-centered care that doesn’t just treat illness—but helps prevent it. I believe that combining imaging expertise with real-world clinical insight leads to better diagnoses, smarter treatment plans, and ultimately, better outcomes. At Health Hub Clinic, we’re not just building a practice—we’re building a model for what modern community healthcare can be: accessible, evidence-based, and designed with the patient at the center.
“True healthcare doesn’t begin with treatment—it begins with understanding. When we connect the dots between diagnosis and daily care, we give patients more than answers—we give them direction.”— Dr. Earl Maes, Medical Director
Our Mission
The personal story that inspired Health Hub — and why preventive care isn't just our service, it's our purpose.
Rob Yanders was so much more than a basketball player, though that is how many people first remember his name. He was a dominant point guard in college and in the professional arena, a true force on the court. But Rob’s greatest gift was what he gave to those around him beyond basketball. He was a mentor to thousands of young men and women, including my own children. He inspired people to strive for more because he lived with such passion, discipline, and honor that he could lift others from their darkest moments and help them find light again.
Rob was also an amazing husband who was fortunate enough to marry his best friend. His love and devotion to his wife, Jen, was unwavering and inspiring—he always put her first. When Rob and Jen started their family, welcoming their two beautiful children, it brought out the signature Rob smile, the kind of smile that could light up an entire room.
I am heartbroken by his passing at only 44 years old. I am also angry with a system that failed to protect him. Rob was in the best physical shape of his life, yet what none of us could see was the silent presence of a genetic condition called Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. This is a disease that can be easily detected with a simple ultrasound and managed with medication. It is devastating to know that such a preventable condition took the life of someone so extraordinary. Despite all that Rob gave to the game and to the world, there is still no routine ultrasound testing for this disease.
I had the honor of calling Rob one of my best friends, and his impact on my life is permanent. His loss is one of the reasons I founded Health Hub and Health Guardian—to provide screenings and medical care that can detect illnesses before they take lives prematurely. I cannot bring Rob back, but I can dedicate myself to preventing others from being lost to diseases we have the power to detect and treat.
We will offer these screening ultrasounds to all athletes free of charge. Patients and families will have the opportunity to make a donation which will go entirely to the Robert Yanders Scholarship.

I had my first appointment with John today at HealthHub. 100% recommend. Everyone was super professional, took the time to address all of my concerns and were very friendly. Sam was awesome at taking all my vitals and answering questions.
Everyone was very welcoming. I was able to get my appointment unexpectedly fast. I felt like everyone was more concerned about my wellbeing than trying to profit. I highly recommend using Health Hub Clinic.
What a great place to go for medical care! Friendly staff, clean facility and we spent less than an hour getting an MRI — with far less expense than going directly through our provider network. No more wasting time at urgent care. Health Hub is the way to go!
The atmosphere was calm, clean and overall very friendly. John went over all of my questions and concerns and triple-checked that I was well taken care of. For the first time ever I didn't feel like just a number. Great work Health Hub team!
💯 PERFECT!! From start to finish — no complaints! We couldn't be happier with the treatment from John. He answered every question with in-depth answers and explained the plan of treatment. Completely impressed to get lab results while we were still there!
Easy to make an appointment, actually be seen in a timely manner with great professional staff.
Love the staff! Everyone is great, personal, and actually hears your concerns!
