Dr. Marlow Hernandez is a physician-executive with over 15 years of experience in value-based care. He has dedicated his career to developing healthcare systems that combine clinical practice with operational leadership, delivering measurable, life-saving outcomes for hundreds of thousands of patients across the United States. His work reflects a practical commitment to expanding access and improving care delivery at scale. A clear principle guides him: “We do not turn patients away.” With this belief, he has established organizations that integrate primary care, specialty services, and advanced analytics to deliver proactive, personalized medicine. Dr. Marlow views data as a clinical resource, applying it to identify risk early and strengthen long-term outcomes, especially for underserved populations. Born in Cienfuegos, Cuba, and raised in the Miami area, he immigrated to the United States in 1993. As a child, he observed the impact of fragmented 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 shaped his broader mission to improve healthcare systems for entire communities rather than treating one patient at a time. He earned a Bachelor’s in Neuroscience from the University of Miami and a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) from Nova Southeastern University. Hernandez 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, results 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 left the company, which reorganized as a private entity in June 2024 and continues to operate 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 implemented a 48-Hour Guarantee and helped develop 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, disaster relief, frontline pandemic response, long-term faith-based giving, research publication, conference contributions, and civic recognition. Throughout his professional journey, Dr. Marlow Hernandez has remained committed to improving healthcare access and system performance.
