When Survival Is Not Optional.
HMP’s Strategic Operations practice deploys former hospital CEOs and CFOs directly into distressed healthcare organizations. We don’t send junior analysts with playbooks, we send principals with scars, instincts, and a proven record of turning failing facilities into stable, functioning enterprises.
When To Call HMP
Negative operating margins, covenant defaults, or lender acceleration notices. When the balance sheet is bleeding faster than management can explain, HMP stabilizes the financial architecture and rebuilds confidence.
Sudden CEO departure, board paralysis, or an executive team that lacks the turnaround DNA needed to navigate a crisis. HMP provides immediate C-Suite-caliber interim leadership that the situation demands.
A court has appointed or is considering appointing a receiver. HMP’s principals have the legal credibility, operational experience, and judicial relationships to serve effectively in court-supervised environments.
CMS immediate jeopardy findings, state survey failures, or licensure threats that require demonstrated corrective action. HMP combines operational remediation with regulatory strategy to protect certification.
Strategic Operations and Management
Built by Experience. Driven by Mission.
From executive suites to the courtroom, HMP’s principals bring a depth of real-world healthcare leadership that no consulting firm can replicate.
Born from the C-Suite
HMP's founding principals left careers as hospital system CEOs and CFOs with a shared conviction: healthcare's most distressed organizations needed operators, not theorists. The firm was established in Nashville to serve the national market.
First Receiverships & Turnarounds
HMP completed its first court-appointed receiverships and voluntary turnaround engagements, establishing a track record in acute care and long-term care settings. Courtroom credibility was earned through expert testimony in landmark healthcare restructuring cases.
Senior Care Practice Launched
Recognizing the unique regulatory complexity of SNF, assisted living, and memory care, HMP formalized its Senior Care Management practice — bringing the same C-Suite rigor to post-acute and long-term care portfolios, including multi-facility CMS compliance recovery programs.
The HMP "Unicorn" Stack
HMP Tech (Healthcare MSP) and HMP Metrics (Proprietary Data Analytics) were integrated into the core offering — creating an industry-first vertical stack combining operational leadership with managed IT services and real-time facility intelligence dashboards.
Nationally Recognized. Locally Accountable.
HMP operates across the continental United States with an expanding portfolio of receivership, turnaround, and advisory engagements. The firm remains headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee — close to the capital markets, legal infrastructure, and regulatory bodies that shape American healthcare.
Healthcare Settings We Serve
HMP’s Strategic Operations practice has direct experience across the full spectrum of healthcare delivery settings — from acute care hospitals to specialty facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clients, courts, and lenders often come to us with similar questions about how HMP engagements work. We’ve answered the most common ones below.
Who actually comes on site?
HMP principals are on-site from day one. We do not staff engagements with junior associates and check in periodically. The principals who present at court, meet with the lender, and sign the reports are the same individuals running the facility day-to-day. This is a non-negotiable element of our engagement model.
How does HMP handle patient care continuity during a turnaround?
Patient care continuity is HMP’s first operational priority in every engagement. Before any cost restructuring, workforce changes, or vendor renegotiations, we ensure clinical operations are stable, staffing is adequate, and quality metrics are being tracked. We have maintained an average 97% patient census retention rate across our engagement history — a record we protect aggressively.
Does HMP work with legal counsel and financial advisors already engaged?
Yes — and we strongly prefer it. Healthcare restructurings are complex, multi-party proceedings. HMP works collaboratively with restructuring counsel, investment bankers, financial advisors, and other professionals. Our role is operational leadership; we complement, not compete with, the professional advisory team already assembled. Our principals have worked alongside the most prominent healthcare restructuring law firms and investment banks in the country.
