At Zeihan Prohealth, our story is a powerful testament to the profound impact of shared purpose and unyielding dedication. Founded in 2023 by Jeffery Hanna, MPH, MSc, and Justin Zeien, MD, MPH, our consulting company is not just a business—it is a manifestation of a heartfelt commitment to transforming lives and advancing public health.
Our journey began at Arizona State University in 2011, where Jeffery and Justin’s paths first crossed through Global Medical Brigades. Their initial mission to Posada Azul, Honduras, was a life-altering experience. Together, they set up makeshift clinics, performed health screenings, and provided essential medicines to those in desperate need. One moment, among many, stands out: a young mother brought her sick child to their clinic, and with care and compassion, Jeffery and Justin worked together with a physician to provide a diagnosis and treatment plan, offering the mother much-needed reassurance. This experience cemented their bond and ignited a shared vision for making a difference in the delivery of healthcare.

Their vision grew stronger at The University of Arizona College of Public Health, where they co-founded Street Medicine Phoenix in 2017. Inspired by models like Street Medicine Detroit, Jeffery and Justin created an interprofessional program that united students from diverse health disciplines—medicine, pharmacy, nursing, optometry, and veterinary fields. They collaborated with medical preceptors and residents from Valleywise and Banner Health to bring vital care to individuals experiencing homelessness in downtown Phoenix. This initiative was more than a program; it was a lifeline for those in need and a testament to their dedication to community-driven solutions.
The founding of Zeihan Prohealth was a natural extension of their journey—a platform through which Jeffery and Justin could channel their deep-seated passion for public health into meaningful action. From providing low-cost prescription eyewear in rural Arizona communities to combating the opioid crisis through Narcan education and training in Kansas City, Zeihan Prohealth embodies their commitment to innovation and compassionate care.
