The advisory work is different
because the operating lens is real.

The value is not in making healthcare operations sound more complicated. It is in helping the right people see the issue clearly, understand what is actually getting in the way, and move the work forward with a practical plan.

My background spans more than twenty years across physician practices, multi site healthcare groups, hospital based operations, specialty group leadership, and PE backed platform environments. I have worked on both sides of healthcare growth: leading inside MSO and platform structures, and running organizations through acquisition, transition, and post close stabilization.

That perspective matters because the work is rarely theoretical. The pressure shows up in physician relationships, staff capacity, revenue cycle handoffs, leadership gaps, workflow friction, and the daily decisions that determine whether growth actually holds together.

H. Douglas Advisory is the platform through which I partner with healthcare organizations that need clarity, operating capacity, and grounded execution. That may include PE backed platforms, specialty groups, healthcare technology companies, investors, or leadership teams working through diligence, integration, transition, performance improvement, or growth.

When you engage, you work directly with me. No intake team. No staffed model. No handoff. The same person who understands the situation is the person helping move the work forward.

"The work is not to make healthcare more complicated. It is to help the right people see clearly, align quickly, and move forward."

Douglas Hemminger  ·  Principal

The foundation behind the advisory work.

The value is not the history itself. It is the operating lens those different experiences created: how to simplify the issue, align the right people, and move the work forward in environments where clinical, operational, financial, and platform priorities all have to hold together.

In Practice

Nine months in the seat.
A stable practice on the other side.

During my time as SVP of Operations for a PE-backed orthopedic MSO, a large specialty practice entered the platform during acquisition and needed more than oversight. It needed steady operating leadership while the broader MSO infrastructure was still being built.

I stepped in to support the practice directly, working through daily operations, physician relationships, staffing, quality, throughput, and leadership cadence while the integration work continued around it. The goal was simple: keep the practice stable, protect the team, and make sure patients and physicians felt continuity during a period of change.

At the same time, I led the search for the permanent operational leader and supported the transition so they could enter a functioning environment, not a fire. By the time the handoff occurred, the practice had a clearer operating rhythm, a more stable leadership footing, and a path forward inside the platform.

The value was not just filling a gap. It was protecting the practice, supporting the MSO, and creating enough structure for the next leader to succeed.
