It was a pleasure spending time and catching up on many stories with a healthcare industry titan and market-maker Michael Neeb, former President & CEO, HCA UK. As a HCA newbie, many moons ago, I was fortunate to be in his orbit and learned first-hand from him the fundamentals of the industry - scale! brand building, partnership...and the need to continually raise the bar on innovation, clinical excellence and client experience.
Not surprisingly, his smile remains infectious, humility, love of golf and global perspective.

After decades of successfully managing a renowned group practice alongside a partner, overseeing six locations, three doctors, and a dedicated team of approximately 45 staff members, Dr. Ernest McDowell initiated plans for the next step of the practice’s evolution. Through his engagement with Diwakar Sinha, Perrin DesPortes and the team at Polaris, we helped increase the group practice’s EBITDA by 40% and shortened the timeline toward the sell-side milestone from over two years to just 18 months.
As a result, we were able to transact the sale to DSO Specialty Smile Partners at nearly double the initially expected value. Dr. McDowell is now happy to continue with patient care, but with a growing company much bigger than he alone.
According to Dr. McDowell: “The work with Polaris Healthcare has allowed me to enter a new chapter where I can eventually help my company grow without being tied to the chair all the time.”
For more details on how we helped improve the value of the business and set up Dr. McDowell for future success, check out the case study. 👇
📢 Inspiration Healthcare - Interim Results #IHC
⭐ New 'back to basics' strategy to position the business for future growth
🗣 Roy Davis, Executive Chair and Interim CEO of Inspiration Healthcare commented:
"Although the first half has been challenging, we have seen encouraging signs of recovery from our Neonatal business and remain positive about current market opportunities. As previously announced, we expect revenues for FY25 to be H2 weighted and have a strong orderbook and pipeline for the rest of the year. However, the sales mix will continue to impact gross margins and consequently earnings expectations for the full year.
We have a clear strategy to return the business to growth, focused on driving sales, increasing profitability and reducing costs, whilst developing a clear US commercial plan and R&D roadmap to expand our portfolio of best-in-class products. We remain well positioned in a stable long term growth sector and I am confident we are taking the right actions to position the Company for the future."
🎥 Investor presentation will be held via the Investor Meet Company platform on Monday, 7 October 2024 at 11am BST.

I think this business can earn 2 cps . Given its growth and options for further Bolt on Aquisitions , a pe of 15 would see it trade at 30 c next year vs currently at 20 c . If the market comes to like the ever increasing software earnings and hichbare revurring then this stock could trade at 15 - 20 times given its global outlook and solid earnings growth

Back in the Five Moons Ballroom, SHAWN STRASH, B. Admin, MHA, MBA, CHC, FACHE, a former hospital CEO, is taking the stage to share his personal journey!
He'll discuss why he left the traditional hospital system to join the free market healthcare space, providing a fascinating insider's perspective on the stark differences between the corporate hospital model and the patient-centered, free market approach.
As someone deeply invested in promoting inclusivity and ethical standards in the workplace, recent events at Medical Solutions have sparked some thoughtful reflection on the values that truly matter to me.
The recurrent layoffs at Medical Solutions, despite assurances to the contrary, have me questioning the integrity of the company's leadership and its commitment to its workforce. It's disheartening to see such a glaring misalignment between professed values and actual actions.
In my own job search, I'm on the lookout for an organization that not only talks the talk but also walks the walk when it comes to inclusivity, transparency, and genuine care for its employees. It's crucial to me to be part of a team where honesty is paramount and where everyone is treated with dignity, especially during challenging times.
We, as employees, play a significant role in shaping the culture of our workplace. We help foster an environment where inclusivity thrives, and where every individual is valued and respected. It's essential to recognize that remaining silent or turning a blind eye can hinder progress. Instead, we must actively demand respect not only for ourselves but also for others.
For me, transparency isn't just a corporate buzzword—it's a cornerstone of trust and respect in any workplace. I'm determined to find a company where I can contribute my skills and talents while feeling confident that my values are fully aligned with those of the organization.
As I navigate my job search journey, I'm hopeful to connect with companies that share my passion for integrity and inclusivity, and where I can truly make a positive impact. Let's continue to champion these values together in our professional endeavors.
Final thoughts: Is the company truly growing if layoff's occur 3x in 6 months? Does the company still grow even when the traveling nurses working for the companies contractual obligations aren't being paid? Or is it because the company spent too much money on acquiring other companies, so they can satiate their executive greed? Misleading advertising?
Medical Solutions, one of the largest healthcare talent ecosystems, has been named one of America’s fastest-growing private companies in the Midwest by Inc. Magazine! Our organization ranked 51 out of all midwestern companies recognized. We're so incredibly proud of all of the people who made this possible! 🤩

Imagine this scenario: you've been recognized nationally for your groundbreaking work in Healthcare. There’s applause, perhaps even an event in your honor. You return home, eagerly awaiting the arrival of your well-deserved trophy. Days turn into weeks, weeks turn inrto months and... nothing arrives. So, what do you do when you win a trophy, but it never shows up at your door? Perhaps start calling the event planner!
Take a step back and think about this—how often in Healthcare do you achieve monumental successes that go unrecognized? No trophies, no awards, just the quiet satisfaction of a job well done.
This creates an important question: Is your success defined by public recognition, or by the lives you touch and save each day?
Of course, recognition is wonderful, but the real impact of your work isn't always something that can be placed on your desk or your bookshelf. Maybe the real award is in the unseen efforts you give each day—the lives you change and the comfort you provide.
Maybe, the true accolades are the ones that don't make it to your mailbox but are felt in your heart and seen in the smiles of your patients and their families.
Reflect on your own "unseen trophies." What victories are you achieving that might not be recognized with an award but are profoundly significant?
Embrace and celebrate your victories, for they are the essence of your true success in healthcare. I encourage you to carry forward the spirit of your dedication. Recognize each other’s efforts, celebrate your everyday victories, and continue to support one another in your professional journeys.
#UnseenHealthcareHeroes#ImpactBeyondAwards#EverydayHealthcareVictories#ToBeASuccess
Take a moment to celebrate not just the big, award-winning breakthroughs, but the everyday successes that truly make a difference.
