Independent physicians commonly face a choice between preserving control of their practices and gaining the resources of a larger organization. Privia Health offers another route. Its physiciancentered model lets practices retain clinical and financial autonomy while joining medical groups supported using shared technology, administrative services and local teams. The arrangement gives doctors greater scale without removing their voice from decisions that shape patient care. Privia Health brings physician practices, health plans and health systems together in primary carecentric networks that also include specialists.
