P3 Health Partners (“P3” or “Company”), a
patient-centered and physician-led population health management
company, announced today that it has closed its previously
announced business combination with Foresight Acquisition Corp.
(Nasdaq: FORE) (“Foresight”). The transaction was approved at a
special meeting of Foresight’s stockholders on December 3, 2021.
The combined company will be named P3 Health
Partners Inc. and will be led by P3’s management team. Its shares
of Class A common stock and warrants are expected to begin trading
December 6, 2021, on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbols “PIII” and
“PIIIW”, respectively.
“At P3, we utilize our proven care model to
empower patients and providers and believe the job of managing
patient health goes far beyond the clinic,” said Sherif Abdou,
M.D., CEO of P3. “It is an absolute honor and privilege to be
invited into our patients’ lives during their times of need, and we
believe our entry into the public markets will enable P3 to
continue supporting whole-patient wellness and preventative care
with our value-based model while expanding our reach into more
markets across the U.S.”
“The management team at P3 includes experienced
physicians and leaders who have built an outstanding population
health management company,” said Mark Thierer, Chairman of P3. “As
I step into the role of Chairman, I look forward to working with
the team to transform healthcare and improve patient outcomes. Our
mindset is to grow with purpose and discipline, expand within
existing markets and strategically enter new markets. With 10,000
seniors aging into Medicare each day and many of those choosing
Medicare Advantage plans, P3 has a tremendous opportunity to make a
difference in patients’ lives.”
“As physicians, Dr. Abdou and I understand how
important it is to alleviate administrative burdens for our
provider partners and give them more time to focus on what they
love most about their profession – helping patients,” said Dr. Amir
Bacchus, Chief Medical Officer of P3. “The partnership approach we
take has resulted in 99% physician retention and better patient
outcomes, evidence that we are empowering our patients and
providers. Beyond these two key stakeholder groups, we are also
taking care of our team. We consider our entire team at P3 a
family, and we strive to support one another with the same level of
intensity as we do our patients.”
Greg Wasson, Chairman of Foresight and new P3 Board Member,
said: “The P3 management team has a proven track record for
addressing some of the largest challenges in healthcare today, and
this transaction enables P3’s strategy to expand into additional
markets while increasing access to patients, physicians, hospitals,
and payers. Between uncontrolled rising healthcare costs, poor
access to primary care, sub-optimal outcomes and physician burnout,
there are a multitude of issues that P3’s value-based healthcare
model can improve. We look forward to the start of P3’s next
chapter as it enters the public markets and continues to improve
patient outcomes in an increasing number of markets across the
U.S.”
Following the close of the business combination,
P3’s Board of Directors consists of nine directors led by Chairman
Mark Thierer, a recognized healthcare industry leader with more
than 30 years of experience in the industry, including as CEO of
Catamaran and CEO of OptumRx. Other board members include P3’s CEO
Sherif Abdou, P3’s Chief Medical Officer Amir Bacchus, along with

E. Price and Jeffrey G. Park.
