Healthcare Is Our Exclusive Focus

Build a high-performing leadership team for your healthcare organization

The unparalleled complexity of the healthcare business ecosystem demands equally specialized leadership. At Kirby Bates Associates, we understand that having expert executive search partners is crucial for success in the healthcare industry. Just as you wouldn’t trust a general surgeon to perform neurosurgery, you shouldn’t rely on non-specialized recruiters to fill healthcare executive roles. As the recognized leader in healthcare executive search, Kirby Bates Associates helps you find mission-margin focused healthcare executives who provide rapid cycle change.

Our inclusive approach to executive search positions us among the industry's leading firms. We earn our clients’ trust with our proven ability to identify and recruit transformational leaders who achieve results while enhancing the patient experience and work environments across the care continuum.
