Executive Partnership for Independent Healthcare
The right decisions, carried through.
OptionPath Partners works alongside independent, clinician-run healthcare practices to connect strategy, leadership, organization, and execution.
Who we serve
Independent, clinician-run practices, typically with six or more billable providers, whose owners still carry substantial business responsibility. Smaller groups may also be a fit.
Physician groups
Independent primary care, specialty, and multispecialty practices.
Behavioral health groups
Psychiatry, therapy, applied behavior analysis (ABA), and substance use treatment groups.
Physical therapy groups
Independent physical therapy and rehabilitation practices.
Other clinician-run practices
Privately owned healthcare organizations with clinician leaders.
Where we add value
Strategic direction
Weigh choices about financial performance, service lines, and growth, then align priorities and resources.
Leadership alignment
Clarify roles and decision authority, strengthen governance, and build agreement around the practice’s priorities.
Execution and accountability
Assign responsibility and follow progress on workforce, operating capacity, and the obstacles that slow execution.
A sustained executive partnership
Through regular working sessions and support between meetings, we help owners make decisions and carry them through. As priorities change, we stay engaged with the people and operating realities behind the work.
Executive leadership, without the executive payroll
Most independent practices need seasoned executive leadership long before they can justify hiring it. A full-time healthcare executive is a significant fixed cost and a long-term employment commitment. The Executive Partnership gives owners that same caliber of strategic, financial and operating leadership, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. You pay a predictable monthly fee, and the engagement stays tied to the plan your owners set.
Frequently asked questions
What does an engagement with OptionPath cost?
Every engagement begins with the Adaptive Strategy Summit, which includes a full practice assessment. It continues as a monthly Executive Partnership that puts the resulting plan into action. The total investment is typically a fraction of the cost of a full-time healthcare executive, and there’s no long-term employment commitment. We share specific pricing after an initial conversation, once we understand your practice and your owners’ goals.
Selected private equity engagements
For private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies, OptionPath takes on focused engagements where clinician-led practices are being acquired, combined or grown.
- Strategic planning. A multi-year plan that the platform’s leaders build and own.
- Target assessment. Leadership, clinicians, operations and culture, with the financial implications of what we find. It complements the sponsor’s financial diligence rather than repeating it.
- Integration. Bringing acquired practices onto the platform without losing the clinicians and culture that made them worth acquiring.
We do not source acquisition targets from the practices we serve.
