Guidestone Healthcare Consulting
Fractional Executive Advisors

The executive guidance your practice has been waiting for.

Guidestone pairs MBA-trained healthcare executives with physician-owned practices — delivering the strategy, oversight, and discipline of a full-time C-suite executive through a tailored advisory engagement scoped to your practice.

Why Fractional

Executive guidance, right-sized.

A full-time C-suite executive — CEO, COO, or CFO — runs $250,000 to $500,000 annually, before benefits, equity, and recruitment. For most growing practices, that's capital better deployed in clinical capacity.

  • Senior healthcare executives, retained by the hour — not hired full-time.
  • Scale engagement up during launches; scale down after stabilization.
  • No recruiting, no severance risk, no multi-year commitment.
  • A custom-tailored engagement calibrated to what your practice actually needs.

How It Works

A four-phase engagement. No surprises, no theater.

01

Discover

A 60-minute consult. We listen for the real operational bottlenecks — not the symptoms you've been managing.

02

Diagnose

A two-week embedded assessment. Workflow walkthroughs, financial review, compliance scan, staff interviews.

03

Deploy

A scoped 90-day plan with measurable targets. We execute it alongside your team, not above them.

04

Sustain

Ongoing fractional support — 5 to 20 hours weekly — keeping what we built in place and evolving with you.
