Ever find yourself trying to bring healthcare back to its roots? Most providers choose healthcare as a career because they want to help, but unfortunately the system makes that hard. At Marathon Health, we believe that the key to improving health outcomes is putting patients, not paperwork, first. We also know that the only way providers can do that is if they are taken care of too. We’ve spent decades building a more meaningful and sustainable approach to healthcare for both patients and providers, and our team of clinicians are rediscovering the joy of medicine with our model.

Curious about if advanced primary care could be right for you? Let’s see!

1. More Time with Patients Means Better Care

In traditional care models, providers are pushed to see as many patients as possible in a day. This leaves little time for in-depth conversations or personalized care. The focus shifts from healing to hurried efficiency, and everyone suffers. Providers are overwhelmed, and patients are often only partially heard and treated.

In contrast, the Marathon Health model emphasizes longer, more meaningful patient interactions. With a focus on prevention, providers can take the time needed to understand the whole person, not just the symptoms. This holistic, patient-centered approach allows for deeper connections, better patient outcomes, and a true sense of accomplishment for providers who are looking for the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on their patients’ health. Additionally, a provider isn’t assessed by how many patients they see in a day, or the amount of additional testing or lab work requested. With our model, a provider is incentivized to help patients get better.

2. Focus on Preventative Care, Not Reactive Treatment

Prevention is at the heart of the Marathon Health model. Instead of constantly reacting to health crises and acute care situations, we provide the opportunity to focus on keeping patients healthy in the first place. This proactive approach allows providers to address health concerns before they become serious problems, reducing the strain on both patients and the healthcare system.

Marathon Health values long-term health over short-term fixes, empowering providers to guide patients through lifestyle changes, preventive screenings, and ongoing support that leads to real improvements in their quality of life.

3. Collaborative Care Teams for Comprehensive Support

The Marathon Health model fosters a collaborative, team-based approach to care, where physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, health coaches, physical therapists and mental health providers work alongside clinical support teams to provide comprehensive support to patients.

This interdisciplinary collaboration means providers have the support needed to offer patients a wide range of services, from mental health counseling to nutritional guidance and chronic disease management.

4. A Mission-Driven Environment

Many healthcare professionals feel disconnected from the true mission of medicine when practicing in productivity-driven environments. At Marathon Health, our mission is to enable millions of people to live their healthiest lives, one patient at a time.

Working in this environment allows providers to reconnect with their purpose by being part of a forward-thinking movement that is shifting the focus of primary care from reactive to proactive, and from volume-based to value-based.

5. Access to Advanced Technology and Data Analytics

Marathon Health also integrates advanced technology and data analytics to enhance care delivery. Providers have access to tools that help monitor patient progress, identify at-risk populations, and track the effectiveness of preventative interventions. This tech-driven approach enables healthcare providers to deliver more precise, data-informed care while reducing administrative burdens.

Plus, this data-driven model helps align patient goals with measurable outcomes, giving greater insight into the long-term success of interventions.
