Summary: In 2013, co-founder and CMO Dr. Clive Fields helped launch primary care provider VillageMD as a 13-physician practice. Seven years later, VillageMD has grown to a 2,500-physician practice -- one with an innovative care model partly shaped around the home. As one of its leaders, Fields has a vision of going “back to the future” by returning to home- and community-based care. He’ll have plenty of firepower to accomplish that vision moving forward, as Walgreens Boots Alliance recently announced plans to invest $1 billion in equity and convertible debt into VillageMD over the next three years, including a $250 million equity investment completed in July. For this episode of Disrupt, HHCN caught up with Fields to discuss everything there is to know about the future of home-based care, value-based payment models, primary care and more. Listen to this episode of Disrupt to learn: -- How Fields and his team grew VillageMD to where it is today -- Why home-based care is so important to the future of health care -- How VillageMD leverages home health and home care providers -- And more!
