Aledade is honored to be named as one of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare by Modern Healthcare! "We are thrilled to receive this recognition, and proud to have a team which not only is exceptionally talented, but also exceptionally motivated to improve the healthcare system and do what’s good for patients, practices and society,” says Helena Day Christianson, chief people officer at Aledade.
At the beginning of May, Aledade's co-founder and President Mat Kendall delivered the final keynote at the California Medical Association's summit, where he highlighted how community health centers are implementing value-based care and improving health outcomes, with evidence rooted in California case studies. Gavin White, California market president, said of the conference, "Mat's presentation got everyone's phones out, snapshotting the approaches to VBC and the incredible results we've seen by partnering shoulder-to-shoulder with community health centers across the state. Our long-standing partnership with the California Medical Association makes conferences like the CMA HIT all the more powerful - they bring an unparalleled network, depth of knowledge and credibility to the shift to value."
Last month, nearly 1,200 Aledaders came together in Chicago for our All Staff Retreat, celebrating 10 years of supporting primary-care physicians in value-based care. Our team was honored to learn about thinking "upstream" with author Dan Heath, hear about the real-life impact of our work from a panel of Aledade physicians from across the country, and get inspired by our origin story and core values. We remain first and foremost dedicated to our mission to serve practices, patients, and society, and our intention remains focused on doing so as we move into our next 10 years and beyond! 🚀 As founder and CEO Farzad Mostashari quoted from "To Be of Use" by Marge Piercy to close out the conference, "The pitcher cries for water to carry, and a person for work that is real." The work is real at Aledade.
