Our Mission

Impacting healthcare teams to improve healthcare outcomes.

Transforming the healthcare experience so that every person can receive and deliver the best care isn’t just a bold mission, it’s an imperative.

We know that success reaches beyond simply improving HCAHPS scores and pay for performance measures. Real success and transformation occurs when we improve the lives and livelihoods of those receiving and those delivering care.

The Healthcare Experience Foundation

The Healthcare Experience Foundation was founded to serve one purpose: to bring together the industry’s best minds—thought leaders, change agents and providers—to share their knowledge, expertise and experiences with healthcare organizations, leaders and teams endeavoring to transform their healthcare delivery and dramatically improve healthcare outcomes. 


Members of our team are senior leaders, seasoned executives and well-respected healthcare professionals. They’ve held positions from directors, to VPs, to the C-suite. Independently, they’ve built successful careers in healthcare spanning decades. Collectively, we’re on a mission to put our experience and expertise to work for other healthcare leaders driven to transform their teams, their organizations, and their industry. In 2017, we came together to form the Healthcare Experience Foundation to help administrators, doctors, nurses and staff impact their healthcare teams and improve their healthcare outcomes.

Our Philosophy & Approach

Make no mistake, healthcare is in a state of chronic crisis. But we also know that despite the rapid changes and fluctuations in the healthcare landscape, many organizations already have extraordinary teams making extraordinary impact. 

Our approach builds on the solid foundations of strength that exist within organizations. We work to help teams break down silos, bolster resiliency, encourage new ways of thinking, embrace positive change, and empower both the patient and the provider to be heroes in their care. Your teams are already making a difference. We help them find new, engaging ways to put their passion and purpose to work. When strong teams come together to create positive patient experiences, we’re not just building better systems of care, we’re transforming healthcare for everyone. 

The Healthcare Experience Advantage

We aren’t your normal healthcare services or consulting firm. We don’t provide our clients cookie-cutter solutions or answers. What we do offer is years of practical, real life experience that can help you and your teams adapt to any uncertainty. This level and depth of experience and agility can’t be learned through text books alone. Our team is composed of respected and esteemed senior executives and leaders from all corners of healthcare: administrators, physicians and clinicians, nurses, and medical support staff. These are experts that have been on the front lines, on the ground, and in the hot seat navigating, innovating and pivoting through the same or similar challenges leaders in healthcare face everyday. We know healthcare, because we’ve been there. 

At the heart, we serve people. More specifically, the people who serve people. We understand that compassionate care runs across a spectrum that involves the collective passions of individuals from across all corners of the healthcare continuum—from administrators, to physicians, to nursing staff. Our work spans across departments, titles, and floors to impact all those impacting the lives of others: whether it's a direct-report, a peer, or a patient. 

 We don’t just show people how it's done, we roll up our sleeves and get to work.
