About the guest
Doug Hemminger
Doug Hemminger (hem-men-jer) is a healthcare operations executive with deep experience leading physician-owned and PE-backed multi-site physician groups and MSOs. His career spans orthopedics at Growth Orthopedics, women's health at Women's Care Florida, and multi-specialty operations at AdventHealth — through multiple private equity cycles.
A background in clinical operations across a variety of environments informs his approach to leadership and his belief in the value of partnership over prescription.
He founded H. Douglas Advisory, LLC to bring that experience directly to organizations navigating complexity, including growing specialty groups, PE-affiliated platforms, and healthcare staffing and technology companies that could benefit from a seasoned operational perspective without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Doug is based in Madrid, Spain, and focused exclusively on US engagements.
