March 31, 2025- Marathon Health announced the successful completion of the company’s merger integration – just one year following its merger with Everside Health. The merger, announced in February 2024, joined two leaders in advanced primary care – to deliver primary care with value-based payment and integrated with mental health therapy, occupational health, high-value specialist referrals, and more – for now more than 3 million covered lives, through more than 750 health centers across 41 states and virtual care nationwide. Up from 2.5 million covered lives across 680 health centers in the year since merging.
The company’s category of employer-sponsored direct primary care (DPC) is one experiencing explosive growth as employers seek substantive cost savings without further cost shifting. Employer sponsors offering a DPC benefit increased by 800% from 2017 to 2022, according to Hint Health’s latest Employer Trends in Direct Primary Care.
