Who We Are:

Aledade, a public benefit corporation, exists to empower the most transformational part of our health care landscape – independent primary care. We were founded in 2014, and since then, we’ve become the largest network of independent primary care in the country – helping practices, health centers and clinics deliver better care to their patients and thrive in value-based care. Additionally, by creating value-based contracts across a wide variety of health plans, we aim to flip the script on the traditional fee-for-service model.
