At just 23 years old, Chloe Harrouche was diagnosed with breast cancer. Although she had specialists guiding each part of her treatment, no one was managing the complete picture. After treatment, she encountered another major gap: little meaningful guidance on prevention, nutrition, fertility, or long-term wellness. That experience inspired Chloe to co-found The Lanby, a modern concierge medical practice designed to make primary care more proactive, coordinated, and patient-centered. In this conversation, Chloe joins May and Tim to discuss how her experience as a patient shaped her vision for a different kind of healthcare. They explore the shortcomings of traditional fee-for-service medicine, the value of coordinated care, and why prevention and wellness should be central to primary care—not an afterthought.
