About VillageMD
We see a world where people live longer, healthier lives in stronger communities.
Our Mission
Every day, we are advancing health care in the United States by providing high-quality, compassionate care with our patients’ best interests at heart.
At VillageMD, our solution is to dedicate resources where they have historically made the most difference. Instead of devoting 90% of resources to mitigating the effects of chronic conditions, we’re investing in primary care to prevent those conditions from occurring, and to lower costs across the board.
Our teams are healing healthcare itself, through the millions of patients we currently serve. We are growing our footprint across the country to meet the demand for healthcare that builds trust as part of its model.
VillageMD is a platform with tools, technology, and operations that are making a measurable difference in spending—while delivering community-based outcomes at a national scale.
Our Team
VillageMD is led by some of the most experienced providers and executives in healthcare today.
