PentaHealth

What PentaHealth does

PentaHealth is an independent, physician-owned primary care group practice founded in 1996 by twelve physicians (previously operating as Gateway Medical Associates) serving patients across nine office locations in Chester, Delaware, and Philadelphia Counties in Southeastern Pennsylvania. The organization delivers full-spectrum primary care including preventive services, acute illness treatment, chronic disease management, immunizations, physicals, care management for complex conditions, transitional care, and walk-in and same-day appointments, with provider on-call coverage 24/7 and extended evening and weekend hours at select sites.

The technology stack is centered on Epic's electronic medical record system, with Epic MyChart deployed as the patient portal (April 2024) and Epic Video Client powering telemedicine visits; ambient listening technology is used within Epic to assist with clinical documentation. PentaHealth generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service insurance billing across all major carriers plus Medicare and Medicaid, supplemented by value-based care arrangements including Medicare's Shared Savings Program (MSSP) and Medicare Advantage quality contracts. Administrative and value-based care infrastructure is provided through a partnership with Tandigm Physician Services (a Management Services Organization), with Aledade added in January 2026 to support value-based care performance.

The go-to-market model is sales-led and physician-recruited: patients are acquired through physician referrals, direct calls, walk-in visits, and community visibility, while the provider base grows through recruitment of independent physicians who become shareholders of the physician-owned corporation. The practice has earned consecutive Independence Blue Cross Quality Cup recognition (2023 and 2024), MGMA recognition for best primary care, and multiple Castle Connolly and Main Line Today Top Doctors honors, and grew in June 2026 via the addition of Manos Family Practice as its ninth office.

• Penn Medicine (University of Pennsylvania Health System): Penn Medicine operates Chester County Hospital, where the newly-joined Manos Family Practice is located. Comparable as a competing regional health system with deeper specialty, hospital, and capital resources — and a payer-contract anchor in the same geography as PentaHealth's offices.
