As the largest clinically integrated network for primary care providers in Texas, we support value-based care initiatives for more than 1,000 primary care physicians and serve more than 1.5 million lives across North and East Texas, and the Panhandle. Catalyst Care Connect is an MSO serving as the extension of each primary care provider's practice and focuses on the health of patients, practices and primary care physicians.

To fulfill our purpose of Helping Communities Thrive, in 2024 Catalyst launched Catalyst Physician Group, comprised of independent physician practices who have a long-standing, trusted relationship with Catalyst. Together, Catalyst and the physician practices have merged to create the 2nd largest physician group in the Southwest.
