Innovative ECMO Concepts

What Innovative ECMO Concepts does

Innovative ECMO Concepts (IEC), founded in 2014 and headquartered in Bluffton, United States, is a clinical services provider focused on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and related perfusion services for hospitals and health systems. The company delivers comprehensive ECMO/ECLS program development, specialized ECMO and perfusion staffing, rapid-response mobile ECMO transport with equipment and physician support, on-site and online clinical training aligned with ELSO standards, Normothermic Regional Perfusion (NRP) support for organ procurement, and revenue cycle optimization for ECMO billing. Service delivery is clinician-led, drawing on a network of 1,300+ credentialed perfusionists and delivering 100,000+ annual ECMO hours to 100+ facilities across nearly all 50 US states and Canada. IEC is Joint Commission Certified and operates as a 24/7, rapid-deployment partner for hospital ECMO, ECLS, SHOCK, and cardiac surgery programs serving neonatal, pediatric, and adult populations.

In August 2025, IEC was unified into Integration Health, a strategic platform that also houses complementary perfusion services. Integration Health subsequently acquired ECMO Advantage in September 2025 (bringing the learn.ecmoadvantage.com online education platform) and Perfusion Life in March 2026, expanding the network and service breadth. The platform now offers an end-to-end suite: per diem perfusion staffing, long-term perfusion contracting, perfusion program development, NRP solutions, ECLS/SHOCK program development, ECMO staffing, program assessment and optimization, and clinical training. Revenue is generated through hospital-to-provider professional services and managed services contracts; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Leadership is clinician-founded and includes Co-Founders Hayden Miller (MS, CP), Thomas Preston (Executive Vice-President, MS, CCT), Dr. John R. Mehall (President), and John G. Martin (CEO), with William Brand as Chief Financial Officer. The go-to-market motion is direct enterprise field sales targeting hospital leadership, ECMO coordinators, and perfusion directors, supported by a marketing presence on the corporate website, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
