What Are Today’s Necessary Qualities for C-Level Healthcare Executives?
“What we do for those entities is we are retained to find senior leaders,” said Brian Kelley, a Buffkin partner who heads the firm’s Healthcare Practice. Typical searches are for C-level executives and executive or senior vice presidents of operations. Kelley said most, but not all, of Buffkin’s clients are for-profit, service-based providers: acute care hospitals and ancillary services like ambulatory surgery, wound care management, outpatient physical therapy, occupational therapy and the like. Buffkin also works with payers and medical technology and device companies.
