Aledade has been named a 2026 USA TODAY Top Workplaces for People-First Culture, a recognition that aligns with our mission and core values. “This recognition is a reflection of our talented team, who is as passionate about our mission to improve health care as the partners we serve nationwide,” shares Co-Founder and President Mat Kendall.
Aledade was founded to answer one fundamental question: "How can we save the most lives?" This answer requires solving a fragmented system that pays for the volume of services and patient suffering — rather than the health of the patient — and realigning it to prioritize prevention and wellness. Farzad Mostashari, MD, co-founder and CEO, recently joined The Doctor's Art podcast with Henry Bair, MD, MBA, and tyler johnson, MD, to discuss this journey. The conversation dives deep into why the current fee-for-service model optimized electronic medical records for documentation over patient care — and how value-based care is the key to fixing it. Listen to the conversation to hear how we are working to reduce administrative burdens and align the goals of patients and clinicians. Spotify: https://bit.ly/47q8WY2 Apple: https://apple.co/4rWWZAo
Aledade is proud to partner with more than 370 community health centers (CHCs) to champion value-based care across the nation. From earning shared savings for community reinvestment to being recognized nationally for clinical excellence in heart health, our CHC partners are proving that financial sustainability and superior patient outcomes go hand-in-hand.
Aledade’s excerpt featured in Halle Tecco's new book, “Massively Better Healthcare: An Innovator's Guide to Tackling Healthcare's Biggest Challenges,” highlights a powerful truth: when physician-led primary care is equipped with the right data, the results are life-changing. A case study on our work with Darrin Menard, M.D., senior medical director and physician in rural Scott, Louisiana, shows how using Aledade’s tools to find patients who were "slipping through the cracks" enabled Dr. Menard’s team to increase their blood pressure control rate from 63% to over 95%.

The Aledade FIRST program addresses primary care workforce shortages by providing early-career physicians with a dedicated curriculum in value-based care and the essential tools to succeed in modern primary care settings. The Wright Center for Community Health recently shared how this mission-driven program helps residents like Sandra Rabat, DO, Enrico Pelicci, MD, and Ramsha Khan, DO (pictured), bridge the gap between academic medicine and the needs of under-resourced populations.

Fierce Healthcare recently highlighted how Aledade’s growth for 2026 demonstrates the momentum for value-based care. "There's [a] really strong desire by providers of all sizes in all parts of the country to get rewarded for providing high-quality care, and these models are now working,” explains Aledade Co-Founder and President Mat Kendall.
Aledade continues to grow its network of physician-led value-based care, welcoming over 700 primary care organizations for 2026. We now empower more than 3,000 primary care partners that care for over 3 million patients nationwide in diverse settings from rural clinics to urban practices, including more than 370 community health centers serving under-resourced populations.
We are proud to announce that Aledade has been named the 2026 Best in KLAS Research winner for Value-Based Care Enablement Services. With a performance score of 95.7 out of 100, we outperformed the market across all five client experience pillars: loyalty, operations, relationship, services and value. This recognition validates our approach of combining hands-on partnership with innovative AI-driven technology to help primary care organizations thrive while doing more good for the patients and communities they serve.
Aledade Co-Founder and CEO Farzad Mostashari, MD, recently joined Outcomes Rocket Founder and CEO Saul W. Marquez on his podcast to discuss how value-based care rewards preventive care. He shares real results from thousands of primary care organizations who have improved their patients' blood pressure control and explains how AI can deliver timely insights without forcing workflow changes.
