New leader committed to reducing new Phoenix HIV infections, expanding partnerships, and delivering high-quality, affirming healthcare
PHOENIX (October 13, 2025) – Spectrum Medical Care Center, a leading provider of healthcare services within Phoenix’s LGBTQ+ community, announces the appointment of Mark Moeremans as its new Chief Executive Officer. A dedicated advocate for advancing inclusive healthcare for the LGBTQ+ community, Moeremans brings a sharp business expertise paired with a strategic leadership approach to help guide the organization’s next chapter focused on deepening community partnerships and providing quality healthcare for the community. Drawing on nearly a decade of cross-functional business experience, Moeremans is also poised to help drive Spectrum’s efforts to ensure that Phoenix reaches its “Fast-Track City” goals towards ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 through increased support of existing HIV-related programs and resources.
“I am very excited to welcome Mark to Spectrum Medical at such an important time for our community and the various challenges we are facing,” said Dr. Thanis Vanig, the founder of Spectrum Medical and the recent recipient of the Legacy Award from Aunt Rita’s Foundation. “He joins us at a transformative time in healthcare, and his vision will help strengthen our role as a leader in providing affirming, inclusive care to all members of our community.
As CEO, Moeremans will oversee the clinic’s operations and community outreach while guiding strategic growth to further its mission of providing affirming, inclusive, and high-quality medical services for LGBTQ+ individuals and their families. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community himself, he is deeply committed to making a meaningful social impact in this new role.
“I am inspired by our mission to serve as the premier primary and specialty care provider for the LGBTQ+ and HIV communities,” said Moeremans. “Our commitment to delivering high-quality, inclusive care, while carrying forward a legacy of compassion and protection for our community is a responsibility that I am deeply honored to uphold.”
Moeremans will also help Phoenix in achieving its fast-track city designation for HIV reduction—a designation awarded to cities that commit to significantly reducing new HIV infections through targeted efforts. Spectrum will play a crucial role by expanding access to prevention, testing, and treatment services, working collaboratively with community partners, and leveraging innovative strategies to help Phoenix reach this ambitious milestone and improve public health outcomes.
A graduate of Boston College, Moeremans also earned an MBA from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business. His career has spanned across a diverse range of business experience including venture development, private equity, and organizational growth.
Most recently, he served as managing director at The Journey Venture Studio, where he supported the launch and growth of innovative startups. Previously, as senior vice president of entrepreneurship and venture development at the Arizona Commerce Authority, he oversaw a number of flagship programs, including the Arizona Innovation Challenge and the Venture Ready Accelerator, helping position Arizona as a premier destination for entrepreneurs.
Moeremans will leverage this experience to ensure that Spectrum Medical Care Center has a robust foundation for growth. “My goal is to create a best-in-class organization where both patients and employees feel proud to call Spectrum home, and make it clear that we provide comprehensive care for the full spectrum of gender and sexual identities,” he said. “Our patients have lived experiences and medical histories that are unique, and I want every interaction to reflect how we can deliver care that is more relevant and responsive to those we serve.”
