Warbird operators were out in full force this spring, with speaking engagements, appearances and support at conferences and events across the country: 

• During the National Association of Health and Educational Facilities Finance Authority’s Spring Conference, Warbird Senior Managing Director C. Ryan Sprinkle, JD, and Managing Director Kari Cornicelli, who lead our Performance Improvement & Turnaround practice, presented Beyond the Assessment: Why Hospital Recovery Requires an Experienced Operator-Led Turnaround Model. 

• Melody Trimble, a Warbird Leadership Consultant, presented at The Healthcare Roundtable's CFO event in Phoenix, Arizona, to share the impact of organizational culture on executive and financial leadership. In her session, she explored how culture shapes execution risk - and with it, financial performance - and how to identify actions that enhance leadership alignment and protect margins. 

• Kevin Donovan, Managing Director of Warbird's Physician Enterprise Solutions, attended the National Provider Compensation & Workforce Strategy Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, to connect with healthcare leaders and provider organizations and discuss strategies for strengthening physician and APP workforce performance in today’s evolving landscape.

• Doug Johnson, a Managing Director with our Affiliations, Mergers & Acquisitions service line, attended the American Health Law Association's Health Care Transactions conference in Nashville, Tennessee, along with peers and healthcare providers seeking insights on business and legal issues in mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures and the current developments, strategies and deal forecasting that can affect them. 

• Plus, several Warbird leaders were honored to attend the Erlanger Foundation Believe Bash. The event highlighted Erlanger’s vital role in the Chattanooga community and set a fundraising record for its Foundation and Auxiliary. Check out our recap >>
