Independent Medical Group Alliance

MEMBERSHIP

Join an alliance of fiercely independent physician groups united to preserve autonomy, strengthen performance, and lead the future of patient-centered care.

Membership for the Independent Medical Group Alliance (IMGA) is by invitation only, exclusively reserved for independent medical groups committed to maintaining their autonomy. Multispecialty groups form the core of the alliance, complemented by select single-specialty practices that share a clear commitment to independence and physician governance.

 

Membership ensures your organization’s voice is represented within a national community of independent medical group leaders. IMGA members gain access to a suite of benefits, including physician-defined benchmarking, collective advocacy, and trusted, member-to-member collaboration.

 

Secure your place in the only movement dedicated to ensuring independent medicine remains strong, influential, and sustainable.


To protect the independence of this alliance, membership is available to qualified independent medical groups following a validation process. Join the movement.
