Strategic Healthcare

Supporting Continuous Innovation

Many healthcare systems are facing a conundrum: They need innovation programs to generate efficiencies, improve patient care and to drive down cost, but how should they structure their strategic investment and innovation programs in the face of growing financial pressures tied to the response to COVID-19?

This website is design to serve as a resource for clients where they can access our white papers which cover topics such as governance, and the pros and cons of investing directly in companies or in a fund managed by a general partner.

We believe recent events have accelerated the adoption of telemedicine, virtual care and other technologies by five or more years in a matter of months. As our clients seek to respond to their new world, we are here to help them on their journey!
