Dr. Marlow Hernandez

Dr. Marlow Hernandez is a physician-executive with more than 15 years of experience in value-based care. He has worked to design and lead healthcare systems that combine clinical medicine with operational structure, delivering measurable, life-saving outcomes for hundreds of thousands of patients across the United States. His career reflects a consistent commitment to expanding access and improving the quality of care at scale.

Hernandez follows a clear guiding belief: “We do not turn patients away.” With this principle, he has built organizations that integrate primary care, specialty services, and advanced analytics to deliver proactive, personalized medicine. He approaches data as a practical clinical resource, using it to identify patient risk early and guide interventions that improve 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 witnessed the effects 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 early promise shaped his broader mission to strengthen healthcare systems for entire communities. Dr. Marlow earned a Bachelor’s in Neuroscience from the University of Miami and a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) from Nova Southeastern University. He 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 DO, MPH, and MBA training, he founded a healthcare organization that expanded from one 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, with the outcomes published in the American Journal of Managed Care (AJMC). It maintained a Five-Star quality rating for five straight years. It grew 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 supported the development of 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 contributions, research publication, conference participation, and civic recognition. Guided by his enduring commitment to patient access and system improvement, Dr. Marlow Hernandez continues to serve with responsibility and purpose.
