As a healthcare leader, you're faced with complex challenges—burnout, disengagement, and team dysfunction.
Through tailored coaching and transformation strategies,
we help CEOs, COOs, and medical leaders build empowered, high-performing teams while preventing burnout and improving organizational culture.
Simple changes make a big impact.
Healthcare organizations are suffering from high burnout rates, turnover, and disengaged teams. These challenges are often rooted in leadership and management systems that don’t align with the needs of today’s healthcare professionals. Let’s work together to transform your leadership approach and improve organizational success.
We combine strategic executive coaching with a focus on redesigning organizational systems, reducing burnout, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. By working with you on leadership development, team dynamics, and workflow efficiency, we drive meaningful change and lasting results.

With 25 years as a family physician, 5 years as a CEO, and over 10 years of consulting with senior healthcare leaders, I bring deep expertise in reducing burnout and driving cultural transformation in healthcare organizations.
As CEO of the Sutter Gould Medical Foundation, I led a transformation of the management system and culture, following which our 350-physician medical group was rated the highest performer among 170 groups across the State of California, while provider satisfaction soared to the 87th percentile.

Foreword by Christina Maslach, PhD
"Dr. DeChant was the fire-starter for our system’s culture change in prioritizing physician and provider wellbeing work when he spoke with our system executive leadership in 2018, including me. His compelling message moved us to prioritize it, get organized around it, and ultimately identify the systematic ways we could improve it. While many hands have been on the work since then, and the work is not done, Dr. DeChant’s vision got us moving down the path."
