Our take
The US primary care system suffers from a 'chronic lack of adequate support'. Aledade has set out to improve this by assisting independent physician practices from reducing costs to data integration support.
The company prides itself on stats of over 2.8 million patients across 46 states since its founding in 2014. The acquisition of Curia, (a leader in value-based care analytics using practical applications of AI to optimize the targeting of patient care and engagement programs) is also bringing the company to the modern world, enhancing its data understanding capabilities and challenging others in its sector with this advancement.
Aledade has won several awards over the years and is now considered the largest network of independent primary care in the country. Alongside this, the company is valued in the billions of dollars with many successful funding rounds. With the company consistently expanding and enhancing its technology it has become a pillar in the industry and therefore a very exciting company to keep an eye on.
