Leadership for organizations accountable for outcomes and cost.

Risk-bearing provider organizations operate at the intersection of care delivery, payer relationships, clinical performance, and financial accountability. Their leaders must understand how strategy becomes execution across physicians, operations, contracting, technology, and the patient experience.

MES brings longstanding healthcare context to these assignments, then conducts the exhaustive search and rigorous assessment each role requires. Our experience spans primary and specialty physician groups, ACOs and other value-based care models, PACE, and post-acute care organizations.

Clients work directly with Steve McGovern throughout the search, from defining the position and identifying the relevant market through candidate assessment, closing, and the executive’s start date.
