We help health system neuroscience programs develop coherent clinical programs that deliver great care, excellent outcomes, at reduced cost.

Does your neuroscience program experience these common challenges?

your neuroscience program have both competent and dedicated neuroscience physician leaders in all relevant specialties and a leadership development program to identify and nurture future physician leaders…or not.

your organization’s culture one that fosters collaboration across a complex matrix of departments, specialties, sites of care, and enjoys community and philanthropic support…or not.

A successful neuroscience program needs physician and administrative leaders to lead change, manage conflict, and the skills to work together to execute on projects that require collaboration and teamwork.

Creating a clear path for your team when navigating your program development will determine the impact that your program will have longterm.

What Clients Are Saying

“We had a non-aligned hybrid model of both employed and independent neuroscience physicians in our health system’s Neuroscience Institute.  As the new Vice-President of Neurosciences, I personally had very little subject matter expertise, so our decision to engage Dr. Swanson as a respected physician leader, executive coach, and clinical expert to work with our Neurosurgeons, Neurologists, Orthopedic Spine Surgeons, and other neuro-specialists in the Institute was key to our development.  We also validated to all of our stakeholders that we were serious about change and improvement in our Institute’s culture and clinical performance by making this year-long investment in the services of an experienced physician consultant/executive coach.”
