Preserving independence.
“The physician-patient relationship is the work. Independent practice is what protects it.”
Why PPA exists.
The Private Physicians Alliance was founded in 2017 to counter the consolidation of healthcare. Private equity firms and hospital systems acquire practices at an unprecedented rate, and the autonomy of the physician erodes with each transaction.
Over 30% of primary care practices have been absorbed into corporate structures. The pattern repeats: acquisition, standardization, optimization for margin, not care.
PPA exists to break that pattern. We provide the scale, leverage, and intelligence of a large health system without taking ownership. We are the layer that lets you stay independent.
What we stand for.
Independence over scale
Growth should never come at the cost of control. We help practices grow while keeping ownership and decision-making with the physicians who built them.
Transparency, always
No hidden fees, no opaque contracts, no surprises. Members know exactly what they get and what it costs.
Physician-led governance
Decisions that affect members are made by physicians who run practices themselves, not corporate administrators.
Community over competition
Independent physicians are stronger together. Information sharing, peer support, and collective action benefit everyone.
Stay independent. Grow on your terms.
