About Pivotal Health Partners
Turning care into performance through executive leadership, operational discipline, and clinical integrity.
Pivotal Health Partners is a national behavioral health consulting and interim leadership firm specializing in operational turnarounds, enterprise performance acceleration, and executive stabilization for substance use disorder and psychiatric treatment organizations.
Our Mission
Pivotal Health Partners exists to restore performance where behavioral health organizations are struggling. We believe strong operations are the engine behind great clinical outcomes, and that leadership accountability is the foundation of sustainable success.
Our work focuses on distressed assets, underperforming treatment platforms, and growth- stage organizations that need disciplined execution to reach their next level of performance.
Consultants Second.
Operators First.
Pivotal is built and led by career behavioral health executives who have carried full P&L responsibility, led through regulatory pressure, rebuilt teams under crisis conditions, and delivered quantifiable turnaround results. We do not advise from a distance—we embed directly into operations.
