About BraVa Health

Our Practice

BraVa Health is Veteran owned and staffed by Nurse Practitioners.  Nurse Practitioners have a minimum of a master’s degree as well as certifications that enables them to treat most chronic and acute medical conditions and meet the primary care and immediate care needs of most patients.

Our Company History

BraVa Health started as Palmetto Express Clinic and opened its doors for business on April 9, 2018, on Dick Pond Road in Myrtle Beach. Following our mission statement, “To Always Provide Quality, Affordable Healthcare in a Comfortable and Safe Environment.” After a very successful first year we had outgrown our initial space and moved down 17 Bypass to the Murrells Inlet area and started our second year in a much larger space. Since then, we have had the honor of winning the Best of the Beach award for Best Primary Care in both 2020 and 2021. 2021 also brought us the honor of the double award of also being the Best Urgent Care.

 

Soon after relocating to our new space, we began developing a business plan to bring BraVa Health to the Palmetto Express business family. After an extensive remodel and even more extensive training of staff and providers we opened the doors of BraVa MedSpa in April of 2021. Since then, we have been able to offer complete patient care for the entire body to our patients and we carry that on to today.

Due to our growth here in the Myrtle Beach area we have brought on more staff, and have two additional Family Nurse Practitioners working with Brandy on the healthcare side. These additions have made it possible to continue to provide the best care possible for our patients.

Our front desk staff, led by our Office Manager, Karen, are always happy to help with whatever our patients need! From scheduling, checking in, questions and referrals, these ladies ensure our company’s success by putting our patient’s needs in the forefront of how we do business.

Our Future

BraVa Health is always looking to the future! As we continue to grow, we are committed to providing the excellent care our patients have come to love, trust, and deserve. Here at BraVa Health & BraVa Medspa, we actually do treat our patients like family!

Proudly Veteran Owned

Our visit fees and additional services are offered at a transparent affordable cost. You will know what you are being charged before receiving the service. All charges are collected at the visit, which means you never receive a bill! If you have insurance, our visit charges are comparable to most copays and we can give you the form to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. You are always welcome to use your Healthcare Savings Account (HSA). We also gladly accept Care Credit.

About

Brandy Van Heyde, NP-C

We believe that there is a better way to provide healthcare. BraVa Health is founded on the philosophy that good, quality, effective healthcare can be provided at an affordable cost for patients with and without insurance. We offer a low cash pay visit rate and transparent pricing for additional services. We think you would prefer to pay an affordable rate at time of service and never have to worry about a bill. BraVa Health can meet the acute and chronic healthcare needs of most patients. We can’t wait to be your family clinic!
