What We Do
agilon health is transforming health care for seniors by empowering primary-care physicians to focus on the entire health of their patients. Through our platform and partnership model, agilon health is leading the nation in creating the system we need – one built on the value of care, not the volume of fees. We honor the independence of local physicians and serve as their long-term partner so they can be the physicians they trained to be.
agilon is built for physicians by physicians, as the patient-physician relationship is the cornerstone of care. We allow primary care physicians to take the long view of their relationships with patients, and to be confident in the long-term financial viability of their own practices. We do this through a Total Care Model that maintains the independence of physicians; unites them in a network of like-minded leaders; and integrates all of the components of a global risk business model into a single platform.
