About

Founded in 2019, HealthEco is an investment and strategic advisory firm partnered with leading US health systems to produce effective growth strategies that scale across the healthcare ecosystem. Our team operates in a fast-paced environment alongside the nation’s top health system executives and corporate development arms to build, commercialize, and invest in businesses that deliver tangible financial impact. We act as extensions of their team to provide market analysis and critical insights throughout the portfolio lifecycle, including but not limited to deal sourcing and evaluation, management team recruiting, and commercial launch programming.

Delivering capitalized opportunities from inside-out and outside-in.

We are free from agendas, stakeholders, or charters. We create business models that strengthen the performance of the health system while simultaneously investing in the adjacent markets with new growth opportunities and businesses. Working quickly to generate alternative revenue while bringing in the right solutions that make sense for your health system.

We connect the pieces to build the right strategy for your success.

Capitalizing on market innovations and increasing margin capture takes more than good intentions. It takes a holistic, integrated category approach, taking advantage of strategic partnerships and touching every corner of the healthcare ecosystem.

Our Process

We create a return on investment by identifying each health system’s unique goals and ambitions, designing the right partnerships for force multiplication, and finally, implementing best-in-class resources to execute.

Our core values

  • Community: We find strength in numbers. We are cultivators of relationships, creators of connections, and builders of communities that generate impact at scale. It’s human nature to want to be part of a like-minded group with a shared purpose. Belonging comes with a sense of value that incents loyalty, accountability, and contribution. Our platform facilitates collaboration to accelerate profitable innovation that builds growth and improves margins.
  • Trust: We are fueled by trust. Trust provides the foundation of every relationship and transaction. It is the currency of innovation, the cornerstone that allows us to ask difficult questions, take risks and shepherd innovative ideas to fruition with our healthcare partners. To us, trust is not just a “nice-to-have” – it is the necessary element that affords us the opportunity to create positive economic outcomes for our community.
  • Creativity: We demand outside-the-box thinking. Creativity is our team’s natural tendency; we instinctively recognize alternatives, challenge norms, explore new angles and approach obstacles with unique perspectives. Creative thinking is our discipline within the innovation equation that facilitates the creation and acceleration of sustainable value for our healthcare partners.
  • Tenacity: We are gritty. Passion and perseverance, above all else, provide the stamina to navigate the complex, ever-changing healthcare industry. It is our diligent spirit and nagging conviction that powers our capacity to turn obstacles into opportunities and strategically poise our healthcare partners to thrive within our ecosystem.
  • Efficiency: We optimize efficiencies. Living in the ebbs and flows of a highly creative, complex healthcare ecosystem requires us to facilitate efficient, innovative, and disruptive models for our clients without disrupting the way they do business. By optimizing efficiencies, we integrate seamlessly into health systems to streamline innovative margin-generating solutions.
  • Balance: We foster a balanced environment. Favorable ecosystems ensure that members flourish in their intended roles. To operate and achieve at the highest level, we encourage our team to invest in self-care, relationships, and activities that align with their aspirations outside of work. This conscious effort to maintain an equilibrium extends to our platform where we purposefully pair health systems to optimize innovation and maximize the value of our network.
