LEADING CONSTRUCTIVE CHANGE
Since 1990, BDC has been a trusted advisor to the nation’s largest health systems, health plans, academic medical centers, and physician organizations. We partner with executive leadership teams to think around corners—solving complex financing and delivery challenges and guiding organizations through major healthcare transformation. With an exclusive focus on healthcare and a privately held, client-first culture, BDC brings independence, deep insight, and a collaborative approach that achieves durable, proven results.
The BDC Advisors Difference
BDC Advisors has built its reputation as a partner for transformation and growth by challenging established thinking, forging new insights, and collaborating closely with clients to build the healthcare organizations of tomorrow. We invest deeply to understand each client’s market dynamics and organizational complexities—then craft bespoke strategies, not off-the-shelf solutions. We are dedicated to leading constructive change and building competitive advantage through transformative engagements that align incentives, optimize outcomes, and advance organizational capabilities.

Inverted Pyramid Structure
Our business model is tailored for complex healthcare organizations. Through our inverted pyramid structure, clients work directly with seasoned industry experts—often with 25+ years of experience—who lead and participate in day-to-day work and key project meetings. This senior-heavy model enables efficient executive-level communication, accelerates alignment, and supports implementation with accountability.
Thought Leadership & Creativity
We work with sophisticated clients in many of the most complex healthcare markets in the country. Our team members are asked to speak as thought leaders at conferences and board retreats across the country, and frequently contribute to leading industry publications. Our experience of looking both at the current state of the industry and “around the corner,” combined with our focus on developing actionable recommendations, pushes us to develop creative, customized, and advanced solutions.
