Scott Phillips

Scott has significant experience with government, tax-exempt, and investor-owned healthcare service providers. He understands the organization and delivery of high-quality health services, including the role of corporate and medical staff governance during difficult periods of transition. Scott has executive level experience with mergers, acquisitions, and turnaround situations, including restructuring in bankruptcy. In all of his many healthcare provider turnaround assignments, he has successfully designed and implemented plans that simultaneously added patient volume and revenues while conserving cash and reducing unit costs. He understands this approach builds on the organization’s strengths and attracts the support of the local community including medical and nursing staff, which is essential for the long-term provision of quality healthcare services.

In addition to other responsibilities, Scott is currently serving as the Chairman, HMP Senior Solutions LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HMP which provides long-term management services to Eldercare Facilities (assisted living, skilled nursing and CCRCs).

Scott has expert knowledge of the bankruptcy process as well as its implications and obligations on an operating provider of healthcare services. He recently led the successful financial turnaround and Chapter 9 reorganization of a 179-bed county-owned hospital, and in 2016, he was appointed the Chief Restructuring Officer for a regional hospital company in Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which owned or managed eight critical access hospitals, a billing and management company and a therapy services company.

He was the financial advisor to 18 tax-exempt continuing care retirement communities, with more than 20,000 residents in twelve states, which were affected by the bankruptcy and sale of Erickson Retirement Communities.

Scott has been the testifying expert, lead investigator, or arbitrator in over 50 high-profile healthcare industry legal disputes.

Scott graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting. He is a Certified Public Accountant (inactive status) and member of numerous professional organizations.
