What Physician-Led Looks Like – When It’s Done Right

Physician-Led by Design – Not Just in Governance

Clinical and operational autonomy is not just preserved, it's the premise. Nova doesn’t centralize decision-making or impose a top-down operating model. Instead, each practice retains local leadership while gaining access to shared strategy, capital, and resources. This is a stark contrast to models that appear physician-led but operate with centralized control over key levers.

Built for Builders: A Launchpad for Entrepreneurial Physicians

Nova explicitly seeks out physicians who want to grow, specialize, and build something – whether that’s a new service line, a regional hub, or a more focused clinical career. Our model is optimized for entrepreneurial ambition, not just operational stability or passive income.

Full-Spectrum Subspecialty & Ancillary Development Strategy

Nova isn’t assembling a roll-up. We’re building something deeper: regional centers of excellence through intentional integration of high-impact service lines like menopause care, urogynecology, mammography, and MFM.

“Privademic” Ecosystem with Peer Collaboration, Not Corporate Homogenization

Nova promotes a “privademic” model – bringing the best of private practice together with the depth and peer mentorship often found in academic environments. Physicians can deepen their subspecialty focus, join a national brain trust, and still retain their local identity.

Long-Term Value Creation Over Short-Term Monetization

Compensation strategy is designed for long-term upside – through optimized payer contracting, in-house revenue capture, and shared growth initiatives. Initial buy-in may include a short-term pay cut, but physicians are invested in the future value they help create.
