P3 Health Partners Investment Highlights
- Empowering Value-Based Care: Founded and led by physicians, P3 is a team of doctors, clinicians and support service professionals with a shared passion for delivering value-based care. P3 is dedicated to transforming healthcare for patients, providers, and payors with a proven physician-affiliated model that delivers high-quality, low-cost care to Medicare Advantage members.
- Large Addressable Market for Medicare Advantage Patients: Substantial market opportunity to partner with physicians & payors that serve the 60 million estimated Medicare eligible beneficiaries in P3’s rapidly growing core $300 billion Medicare Advantage Market. P3 currently operates in 11 markets across four states and expects to add three to five new markets annually to drive 35% patient growth over the long-term through a mix of payor and provider opportunities.
- Rapidly Scalable, Capital-Light Model: P3’s capital efficient growth approach leverages the existing installed physician base across the U.S., which enables accelerated market entry while maintaining the preexisting patient and physician relationship. P3 enters markets with payor and provider partnerships to rapidly scale member growth while developing a full network of primary care, specialty, and ancillary providers.
- Experienced Management Team: P3 was founded and is led by one of the most experienced management teams in population health. The core management team has a 20-year track record with deep value-based care expertise and a proven ability to build and scale value-based care platforms.
“Today marks an important milestone in our mission to transform healthcare for patients, providers, and payors through value-based care,” said Sherif Abdou, CEO of P3. “We have the right team and delivery model to help physicians and payors accelerate the move to value-based care within a growing market for Medicare beneficiaries. As a public company, we will continue to provide a differentiated approach to patient care for all key stakeholders while delivering proven care outcomes and enhancing patient and provider satisfaction.”

Their innovative, patient-centered, and physician-led care model enables the delivery of high-quality care at scale while aligning physician incentives to drive improved outcomes and reduce medical costs. We look forward to partnering closely with them on this exciting next chapter as a public company.”
