Award spotlights Dr. Mostashari’s success advancing value-based care nationwide

Modern Healthcare has recognized Farzad Mostashari, MD, co-founder and CEO of Aledade, the nation’s largest network of independent value-based primary care, as one of the 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare of 2025.

The publication praised Mostashari for his role in advancing value-based care including Aledade’s success managing Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), the crucial role he has played in shaping the government's new Primary Care Flex Model in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) and the launch of the Aledade Policy Institute.

“This honor reflects that when we change the incentives in health care, we improve the system for everyone,” Mostashari said. “When prevention and trusted relationships are at the center of care — and incentives are aligned to support that mission — primary care not only delivers better outcomes and stronger communities, it also builds healthier, more sustainable practices. Value-based care makes it possible for doctors to invest in their teams and bring more services to patients. I’m proud to share this recognition with Aledade Nation and every partner we serve.”

Co-founded in 2014 by Mostashari and co-founder Mat Kendall, Aledade empowers clinicians with advanced analytics, AI‑enhanced tools and dedicated support to improve patient health, grow thriving primary care organizations and share in the rewards of better care. During the 2024 MSSP Performance Year, Aledade’s 59 ACOs generated over $1 billion in Medicare savings. Since 2014, the company has driven more than $3 billion in total health care savings for U.S. taxpayers.

Aledade currently supports more than 20,000 clinicians in over 2,400 primary care organizations and community health centers across 46 states. The company manages accountable care programs that serve nearly 3 million patients, emphasizing proactive and preventive care to improve outcomes. As a Public Benefit Corporation, Aledade’s Board of Directors is driven to consider the interests of all stakeholders alongside its core public benefit purpose.
