Our Vision: Restore wellbeing to health care.
There is a crisis in the delivery of health care in the United States.
​
All over the country patients suffer because of unsustainable and often outdated business models that jeopardize the care they receive. Healthcare professionals, hospitals, and systems are challenged to flourish under the current financial, regulatory, and cultural demands.
Hickory Oak Consulting helps to relieve the turmoil that often exists among healthcare providers. Our founder, Roberto de Bara, MD, partners with physicians and administrators to transform their organization’s culture, structure, productivity, and profitability for the betterment of providers, patients, and communities.
Transformation begins with you.

In addition to the mastery of necessary leadership skills, we support you as you discern and cultivate the talents and strengths needed to transform your leadership style. This essential process will help you attain your full power and potential as a leader and enable you to make the right decisions for yourself and for the organization you lead.
