OPERATOR | ADVISOR | CONSULTANT
David C. Donnelly
I haven't just consulted -- I've lead teams that produce results. I've had to own the outcomes of the work we have done. That operational experience and approach is a unique attribute you won't commonly find with many hospital-based consultants.
I started my healthcare career in EMS which has afforded me an appreciation of the patient/provider relationship, a fund of clinical knowledge that makes my engagement relationships more effective, and a must-do/can't fail dogma -- there is no one else to call for help after you've called 911.
