About Us

Together We Maintain Our Independence

ViaCare is a community-based and physician-focused IPA, specifically formed with the intent to unify local independent physicians and support their evolving needs.
  • We understand the intricate balance of providing high quality healthcare to your patients while managing the business side of an independent practice.
  • We are dedicated to being a trusted conduit that unites community providers to help support and advocate for our practices with insurance payers.
We are a network of culturally diverse health care providers. We share your culture and speak your language because we are who we serve.

Our mission

Our Team

Yehuda Zicherman

Founder and CEO
Yehuda Zicherman is the founder and CEO of ViaCare IPA. He has been in the healthcare field since he started his first healthcare company, Centena Health Group, in Rockland County, NY.
Building Centena Health into a successful consulting business alongside physicians and industry leaders inspired him to work on addressing the patient experience aspect of the field by becoming the current executive director of First MedCare, a multi-specialty clinic in the heart of Canarsie, Brooklyn.
Yehuda has seen first-hand how affordable and accessible healthcare can transform families and communities. He says no one should be without quality healthcare because of their zip code or income level.
