Aledade co-founder and CEO Farzad Mostashari recently spoke to The Edge of Healthcare with Madaket Health's Martin Cody on the merits of value-based care, and how it's working to create better primary care - good for practices, patients and society. The result? Shared savings of over $800 million in a single year.
Aledade’s FIRST Program enhances formal primary care residency training by providing in-depth, value-based care curriculum and highlighting career opportunities among our partner practices. Through this program, Dr. William Glover is completing training at an Aledade partner residency program, Mountain Area Health Education Center - MAHEC, and will soon be joining North Buncombe Family Medicine, an Aledade partner practice. “The FIRST Program has been a pivotal supplement to my growth as a physician with the goal of providing value-based care (VBC) to the individuals within my community,” shared Dr. Glover. “The thoughtful monthly discussions are exceptional in gaining understanding of VBC, filling the gaps in knowledge that are not frequently taught in medical school and graduate medical education programs.” Learn more about the FIRST Program at aledade.com/residents.
Charles P. Catania, M.D., of Aledade partner PentaHealth, hosted Pennsylvania state Senator Carolyn Comitta for a site visit this past week. Senator Comitta saw firsthand what this independent primary care organization is doing to help her local constituents. "This was the first time we were involved in anything like this and it was not only educational for us, it was enjoyable to advocate for our community," said Dr. Catania. "It was an incredible opportunity to be heard and seen."
This hashtag#BlackHistoryMonth, Aledade reaffirms its commitment to addressing health disparities in Black communities, particularly in colorectal cancer and hypertension. Aledade's FAB Employee Resource Group (Forum for African and Black Diaspora) is focused on these issues in their current impact project, helping shape initiatives that close care gaps and improve health outcomes for Black patients in the communities we serve, while fostering dialogue, education, and action to advance health equity.
Aledade has expanded its reach in 2025 by adding over 500 new primary care organizations, now serving nearly 3 million patients across diverse care settings, from urban to rural communities in 46 states and the District of Columbia, including over 300 community health centers.

Aledade's Pharmacy and Practice Adoption teams are proud to launch a groundbreaking medication adherence training for our partner organizations. Patients are more likely to stay healthy and avoid complications when they take their medication as prescribed - the ultimate goal of value-based care. This tailored training for care teams provides practical, high-impact strategies to improve medication adherence through smarter workflows, better technology use and seamless care integration.
Earlier this month, our growth marketing, operations and network development teams came together in Fort Worth, TX to build connections, celebrate and get aligned on strategy as we continue to grow our network and support more value-based primary care in 2025!
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.
