Our Story
With over two decades of combined experience in the primary and behavioral healthcare industry, founders Jake and Nicole Spellis, launched Vital Health with the shared vision of providing compassionate integrated care in Northwest Ohio and beyond.
As a high-school dropout with a substance abuse disorder, Jacob Spellis – the
co-founder and CEO of Vital Health – knew first-hand the stigmas and barriers people in recovery can face when seeking primary and behavioral healthcare. Adding to that, Jacob’s cancer survival further cemented his experience with quality care during recovery.
As a recipient of the Year of the Nurse Award, Nicole Spellis is no stranger to the front lines and was particularly relevant during the COVID pandemic. Nicole holds a Master’s Degree as a Registered Nurse while Jacob holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan.
