Dr. Marlow Hernandez Male • United States of America

Dr. Marlow Hernandez is a physician-executive with over 15 years of experience in value-based care. He has led healthcare organizations that combine clinical practice with structured system development, producing measurable results for hundreds of thousands of patients across the United States. His career reflects a steady focus on expanding access and improving care delivery at scale.

A clear commitment guides his work: “We do not turn patients away.” With this principle, he has built integrated care models that unite primary care, specialty services, and advanced analytics to support proactive and personalized treatment. He relies on data as a clinical tool, applying it to detect patient risk early and improve long-term outcomes, particularly for underserved communities.

Born in Cienfuegos, Cuba, and raised in the Miami area, Dr. Marlow immigrated to the United States in 1993. As a child, he witnessed gaps in healthcare through his grandmother’s struggle with complicated diabetes. At five years old, he promised he would become a physician and help her. That promise later developed into a mission to improve healthcare systems for entire populations. He earned a Bachelor’s in Neuroscience from the University of Miami and a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) from Nova Southeastern University. He completed his training at Cleveland Clinic Florida and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine, a Diplomate of the American Board of Venous & Lymphatic Medicine, and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP).

With combined DO, MPH, and MBA training, he founded a healthcare organization that grew from a single clinic into a $3 billion revenue platform serving 400,000 members. Under his leadership, it became the fastest-growing primary care network in the U.S. for two consecutive years, according to Inc. magazine. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization achieved a sustained 60% reduction in patient mortality, findings published in the American Journal of Managed Care (AJMC). It maintained a Five-Star quality rating for five straight years. It expanded from $0 to nearly $1.0 billion in revenue within two years under the inaugural CMS direct contracting entity (now ACO REACH).

In 2023, Marlow Hernandez chose to leave the company, which reorganized as a private entity in June 2024 and continues serving patients in Florida. He later co-founded a senior-focused healthcare organization in Nevada, including locations on Tropicana Ave in Las Vegas and in North Las Vegas. There, he established a 48-Hour Guarantee and supported the development of a proprietary platform that predicts 30-day hospitalization risk with over 90% accuracy.

He remains active in clinical practice with unrestricted licenses in Florida and Nevada. His service includes charitable medical care, hurricane relief, frontline pandemic response, long-term faith-based giving, research publication, conference participation, and civic recognition. Throughout his professional journey, Dr. Marlow Hernandez has remained committed to strengthening healthcare systems and ensuring patient access to care.
