Premise Health is not a hospital system. It is not a traditional medical group. It is the nation's largest direct healthcare company, operating more than 800 wellness centers in 46 states that fundamentally reimagine how primary care is delivered. With more than 60 years of experience and over 6,500 team members nationwide, Premise Health has built a model that prioritizes what traditional healthcare often neglects: time with patients, continuity of care, and physician satisfaction.
The Baldwin, Georgia clinic where you will practice represents this model in action. Rather than serving a revolving door of community patients, you will care for a defined population of employees from the facility's sponsoring employer. This stability creates something rare in modern medicine: actual relationships with patients. You will know their histories, their families, their challenges. They will know you. The transactional nature of high-volume primary care simply does not exist here.
Premise Health traces its origins to 1964, when its first onsite wellness center opened in New York City. The company in its current form was established in 2014 through the merger of CHS Health Services and Take Care Employer Services. Since then, Premise has grown through strategic acquisitions including eHealthScreenings (2017), CareHere (2020), and Sonic Boom Wellness (2021). The organization is backed by OMERS Private Equity, which acquired Premise in 2018.
Premise Health is led by an experienced executive team with deep expertise in healthcare operations, technology, and growth strategy.
Premise Health has developed what it calls "advanced primary care," a comprehensive approach that integrates primary care, behavioral health, pharmacy, care management, and care navigation into a single coordinated system. This model expands beyond traditional primary care to address the whole person, including mental health and social factors that influence health outcomes.
The approach is built on AAAHC-accredited patient-centered medical home principles but goes further. Your clinical decisions will be supported by data insights that help identify care gaps, manage chronic conditions, and coordinate specialist referrals. You will have visibility into your patients' complete care journeys, not just the fragments that occur in your exam room.
Premise Health's model delivers measurable results. In a validated claims-based analysis of over 207,000 eligible lives across 26 organizations, Premise demonstrated a 30% average reduction in total cost of care compared to community healthcare. This is not achieved by rationing care or rushing patients through visits. It is achieved by investing in primary care, catching problems early, managing chronic conditions proactively, and keeping people out of emergency rooms and hospitals.
Premise Health has earned recognition as one of the best places to work in healthcare. The organization's culture emphasizes respect, accountability, and quality, supported by a fee-for-value environment that allows physicians to focus on patient outcomes rather than production metrics.
The organization has invested heavily in technology infrastructure and information security. Premise maintains the largest and most sophisticated InfoSec team in the direct healthcare industry. The electronic health record has achieved HITRUST CSF Certified status, the highest standard for protecting sensitive health information. You will work with systems that are secure, reliable, and designed to support rather than burden your clinical practice.
Joining Premise Health means joining an organization that has figured out how to make primary care work for both patients and physicians. The fee-for-value model removes the pressure to see more patients faster. The integrated care team handles coordination and chronic disease management. The technology works. And the culture genuinely supports the people who deliver care. This is healthcare operating the way it should.
