Children's Hospitals

Successful Leaders, Exceptional Advocates

We are experts at identifying candidates with the skill sets required to succeed as children’s hospital leaders and visionaries in pediatric healthcare. Our clients in these complex organizations require CEOs, CFOs, chief medical officers and other executives who can meet the responsibilities required of all healthcare leaders while working tirelessly to improve the health and well-being of children and their families. We believe that transformative executives for children’s hospitals must excel at strategic planning; finance and fundraising; human resources; and board, physician, staff and community relations — while never losing sight of the mission.
