As we gear up for our 2025 policy work with a new administration, our Chief Policy Officer, Sean Cavanaugh, explains why this was the perfect moment to launch Aledade's Policy Institute. The Institute aims to strengthen primary care and break down barriers, driving broader and more comprehensive adoption of value-based care than ever before.
We are proud to announce the launch of The Aledade Policy Institute, building on our success fostering collaboration and dialogue with regulators, legislators and stakeholders on value-based care. As part of Aledade's mission as a Public Benefit Corporation, the Institute will share critical insights to enrich health care policy discussions at a pivotal time for state and federal leaders.

Aledade is excited to share that we have broken ground on our new collaborative, event-oriented workplace where our remote-first teams can gather in-person for retreats, meetings and discussions. We recently let co-founders Farzad Mostashari and Mat Kendall take the first swing to start construction! Aledaders nationwide are excited to come together in our new Bethesda HQ starting in Spring of 2025.
Aledade's Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are thriving staff-led groups where Aledaders come together around a shared identity, experience or social cause. Earlier this month, ERG co-leads, executive sponsors, and E&I ambassadors celebrated how our ERGs helped us advance our mission and live our values of inclusion and belonging over the past year.
Aledade is proud to share our inaugural Public Benefit Report, "Doing More Good Together," highlighting progress towards our mission of creating a health care system that is good for patients, practices and society. From powerful data to inspiring testimonials, the report showcases our commitment to supporting primary care clinicians, improving patient care and transforming health care - all while fostering a purpose-driven workplace. Dive into the report to see how we're making an impact!
Aledade team members attended the Florida Association of ACOs (FLAACOs) fall conference last week, where Travis Broome, senior vice president of Policy & Economics, spoke about different ACO models including Primary Care Flex, MSSP and REACH, and Market President Andrew Chang moderated a panel of ACO clinicians. This event brings together not only ACOs, but any organization interested in value-based care models.
Aledade is excited to share that three of our partner practices have been named as a 2024 Million Hearts Hypertension Control Champion. This recognition given by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention awards practices that prioritize controlling hypertension and are delivering lifesaving care by helping 80% or more of their patients with hypertension get their blood pressure under control. Congratulations to Mainline Health Systems, Inc. in Arkansas, Milford Primary Care Associates in Delaware and Brevard Health Center in Florida!
To mark #NationalRuralHealthDay, we are recognizing the hard work of all of our partners in rural parts of the country who are succeeding in value-based care, including Keystone Rural Health Consortia in Emporium, PA. Of the more than 1,900 practices that Aledade serves, 24% are in rural areas.
Co-founder and CEO Farzad Mostashari speaks to Healthcare Innovation about the success of Aledade ACOs in the 2023 Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP), and what we can learn moving forward.
