Healthcare Operator (Clinics/Behavioral Health/Urgent Cares) - EBITDA Focused - Open to Partnering, Consulting or Co-investing

Hello everyone, This is a longer post with the intent to create a 2026 healthcare services thread. I am a Healthcare Operator focused on EBITDA growth, scaling healthcare service platforms across Behavioral Health, specialty clinics, urgent care centers, and hospitals. My work revolves around Operational Execution of strategies - the real-world execution which requires rubbing shoulders with front line staff and patients. Some selected outcomes from this work: • $8M+ EBITDA improvement turning around distressed hospital operations • $3M EBITDA expansion within 8 months at a behavioral health platform • 30% revenue growth in ~90 days through service line expansion and patient flow optimization • 5%+ margin expansion across multiple facilities through operational redesign • 20%+ census growth via referral development + access improvements I’ve also supported diligence and integration work across 50+ healthcare services opportunities (BH, urgent care, specialty clinics), with a focus on identifying where operational execution can unlock value quickly post-close. I’m especially interested in connecting with: • Searchers under LOI or post-close who need a hands-on operator • Investors evaluating healthcare services platforms • Owners/operators considering a transaction but needing operational support to stabilize or grow first • Anyone curious about where to actually start and what tried and tested resources to use Engagements: • Operating partner (pre- or post-close) • Interim CEO / COO • Diligence + execution support • Potential co-investor alongside the right opportunity I would also like to make this thread useful beyond the post since there is no recent healthcare specific thread. If you’re actively working on or evaluating healthcare deals, feel free to comment with: • What types of assets you’re seeing (clinic, ASC, BH, urgent care, etc.) • Current challenges (staffing, payer mix, growth, integration, etc.) • Regions or niches you’re focused on Happy to share perspectives where helpful—and would encourage others to weigh in as well so this becomes a useful thread for anyone operating in healthcare services. Please also feel free to reach out directly for anything. Thank you, Arnab
