Our Clients

Physician Health Partners is a management service organization that currently supports three adult independent physician associations (IPAs), one pediatric IPA, and one government client. The IPAs practice within the ten-county metropolitan region surrounding Denver, and their physicians have staff privileges at ten of the sixteen hospitals located in the Denver metro region. Because many of the PCPs and specialists contract with both PPP and CPP, PHP manages the delivery of care for almost 1,500 physicians in total.
