We are dedicated to upholding the fundamental social contract between physicians and their patients in which patient interests are always paramount. Some of our members include:
The OrthoForum is a national physician specialty organization whose membership includes many of the largest privately-owned orthopaedic practices in the United States.
Formed in 2022, the Association for Independent Medicine was created to bring independent, physician-owned groups together with the goal of remaining independent and pushing back against private equity-owned takeovers.
PELTO is focused on building a foundation and gaining trust through tactical results. PELTO is driven to innovate and standardize products that create value for independent physician practices. At PELTO, we are recognized for being a thought leader which drives transformational change, with the provider and patients at the helm.
The purpose of this professional medical corporate cooperative is to engage in the profession of medicine, organize to promote the services offered by the physician members, promote the welfare of its members through advocacy, engage in collective purchasing for goods and services, and operate on a cooperative and collaborative basis.
