about Amir Mortazavi

A Life Built on Entrepreneurship, Integrity, and Accountability

Amir Mortazavi is a healthcare entrepreneur, business operator, and public voice on accountability in healthcare and government oversight.

Raised in Southern California after his family fled religious persecution in Iran, Amir grew up in a household that valued education, hard work, and ethical leadership. His father, Dr. Ali Mortazavi, became one of the most respected cardiologists in Texas, serving as Chief of Cardiology at Kelsey-Seybold Clinic. That environment—surrounded by medicine, discipline, and service—shaped Amir’s early understanding of both healthcare and responsibility.

Amir attended Texas Lutheran University, where he earned degrees in finance and accounting before beginning his career at Ernst & Young. As an auditor, he worked with major healthcare systems and large organizations, gaining firsthand experience in compliance, financial transparency, and the regulatory frameworks that govern complex industries.

Building Healthcare Businesses

Throughout his career, Amir has prioritized compliance, transparency, and ethical operations in industries often defined by heavy regulation and complex oversight.

In 2017, after discovering serious compliance concerns among majority owners at NextHealth, Amir chose to resign and walk away from his equity stake rather than remain involved in a business he believed was operating improperly.



He went on to co-found Community Pharmacy Partners, a physician-owned pharmacy platform focused on reducing the prescription of controlled substances and addressing the growing opioid crisis. The company was built around strict compliance and transparent business practices and was successfully sold to private equity in 2018.

Speaking Out

After years operating in one of the most heavily regulated industries in the country, Amir experienced firsthand the immense power government agencies can wield over entrepreneurs and healthcare providers.

That experience changed the direction of his work. Rather than remain silent, Amir began speaking publicly about regulatory overreach, the risks of unchecked government authority, and the need for accountability in healthcare policy and enforcement.

Today he contributes to public conversations about healthcare reform, entrepreneurship, regulatory transparency, and the balance between oversight and opportunity in America.

Family

Amir lives in Texas with his wife of more than thirteen years and their two children. Family remains central to his life and values, and the principles he was raised with—integrity, hard work, and accountability—continue to guide both his personal life and professional pursuits.
