ArchWell Health brings its innovative primary care model to communities and patients that have often been underserved by traditional healthcare offerings. Under a value-based payment system, the physicians have more time for visits, which allows for deeper, more meaningful relationships with patients – especially with those who are most in need. With a focus on caring for seniors on Medicare or dual plans with Medicare + Medicaid, the ArchWell Health model takes a proactive approach to screenings and preventative care, supporting patients with wellness plans to keep them healthy, active, and enjoying everything life has to offer. The result is a rapidly growing network of ArchWell Health clinics that are truly transforming lives and communities across the U.S.
Triple Aim Partners co-founded and launched ArchWell Health in 2020 and exited in 2023.
Karina joined Archwell Health because of the company’s vision to create primary care centers that, in her words, “care like never before.” As a provider in Tuscon, AZ, she did just that, serving hundreds of seniors in an underserved area. When her husband, an active-duty U.S. Air Force member, was called to relocate, Karina transferred to the St. Petersburg, FL, center where she sees members today. Karina says her proudest moment at the company was on her last day in Tucson when a patient’s husband came in to thank her for finding his wife’s cancer. He said, “things would have turned out differently if you hadn’t cared for her needs.”
In 2019, Carl was considering a variety of options for his next opportunity, but one thing he knew he didn’t want was a “turnaround” situation. “TAP builds businesses from scratch so you’re not buying someone else’s mistakes,” he says. “You start with a clean slate.” He also wanted to be involved in something that would impact how healthcare is delivered, by supporting frontline people with capital and leadership. Carl’s goals were consistent with where TAP was headed, and in 2020, Carl and TAP launched Archwell Health. Today, the company has around 100 clinics in 14 states and nearly 2,000 employees.
