We're proud to share that our CEO and co-founder Farzad Mostashari, MD has been named one of Modern Healthcare's 100 Most Influential People for 2025. “This honor reflects that when we change the incentives in health care, we improve the system for everyone,” said Mostashari.
On the new episode of Offcall's "How I Doctor Podcast,” Graham Walker, MD sits down with Umar Bowers, MD, an Aledade partner physician at who successfully transitioned to independent practice with Dawson Med Primary Care and Urgent Care, and Dan Bowles, our general manager of practice health, who provides insights into how value-based care is creating new pathways to physician autonomy.
As a public benefit corporation (PBC), Aledade is committed to delivering better health, better care and lower costs — creating a health care system that's good for patients, good for practices and good for society. Our newly released PBC Report showcases how this mission-driven approach delivers real results: in 2024, we helped our partners prevent 263,000 unnecessary hospitalizations and emergency department visits, delivered over $1 billion in shared savings to primary care organizations and saved taxpayers more than $320 million. The report also highlights our award-winning workplace culture that has earned multiple 2024 recognitions, including Best Places to Work in Healthcare, with over 90% of employees believing in our company's mission alignment. Being a PBC means we're accountable not just to shareholders, but to all stakeholders.
We are proud to celebrate 90 Aledade primary care partner practices and community health centers that have received national recognition from the American Heart Association and American Medical Association's "Target: BP" initiative for achieving high blood pressure control rates. "When our partners successfully manage their patients' blood pressure, they're preventing heart disease and saving lives," said Farzad Mostashari, MD, co-founder and CEO of Aledade. "This recognition is a testament to our partners’ successful value-based care efforts, their ongoing commitment to their patients and the result of the work they do every day to provide high-quality, preventive care in the communities they serve."
At the recent inaugural Primary Care Summit hosted by the Virginia Center for Health Innovation, Kevin Van Dyke, Virginia and Tennessee market president, and Will London, policy specialist, joined health care leaders to discuss the critical issues facing primary care today. Through our work with state coalitions and partners, the Aledade Policy Institute continues to advocate for state-level investments in primary care.

At the American Academy of Family Physicians FMX conference recently, our team connected with clinicians, gaining valuable insights into primary care's current challenges and opportunities. At our booth, we created a wellness moment for physicians navigating health care's complexities, aiming to help remind them why they chose medicine in the first place — to Do More Good for their patients. These conversations will guide our continued work advancing value-based care solutions that enhance physician satisfaction and patient outcomes.
Aledade is honored to be named as a Top Remote Workplace by CareerBuilder, Monster and Top Workplaces. "Our workforce comprises top talent from across the country and just as our employees dedicate themselves to our mission, we are equally committed to supporting them," said Helena Christianson, Aledade's chief people officer.
When primary care is personal, it transforms lives. Just ask the team at Physicians Care Group of West Georgia, who get to know their patients on a deeper level to provide truly personalized care. By combining this community-first approach with the powerful technology and support Aledade offers, they're improving patient outcomes and building a healthier community.
This week, we are celebrating colleagues who have reached their 10-year milestone with Aledade! These dedicated Aledaders have helped build our mission to transform primary care. Their commitment to value-based care has been instrumental in our success - from supporting a handful of practices to now partnering with over 2,400 primary care organizations nationwide.
Congratulations to Aledade co-founder and CEO Farzad Mostashari, MD, for being named one of the Top 25 Digital Health Executives in 2025 by The Healthcare Technology Report. Alongside incredible thought leaders in this space, Farzad was chosen based on his business success, innovative contributions and health care industry influence.
