Courage Medical Alliance was founded in 2008 by Dr. John Deese. Dr. Deese was in private practice at this time working in a multidisciplinary clinic with Chiropractic, Family Practice, Physiotherapy, Massage Therapy and also incorporating Natural Homeopathic Supplements. During this time frame, the world of Allergy/Immunology was one of the best in office ancillary solutions for providers in Primary Care, Internal medicine and Pediatrics. Dr. Deese partnered with the most successful Allergy Company in the U.S. to allow health providers to bring this service model in-house for optimal patient care and to improve business stability within the provider’s office.

It was at this point, he realized there was a need to continue
creating more in-house patient services for office profitability and centralized patient care.
By doing this, an independent practitioner could remain in
private practice if they chose to or simply build a better business
to sell at a later time. Either way, this model empowered the
physicians to have broader choices in their future.

Today, Dr. Deese has enlisted a host of employees who have continued to excel in their education and commitment to excellence. With the addition of Carmen Revels, Chief of Operations, Courage Medical Alliance has grown to partner with providers all across the U.S.

Our Name

The names derives from Joshua 1

No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. 6 Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.

7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left,that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
