H&H Leadership Solutions

What H&H Leadership Solutions does

H&H Leadership Solutions is a privately held, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned retained executive search and advisory firm exclusively dedicated to the U.S. healthcare sector, founded in 2024 by LCDR Stephen J. Hartz, USN (ret) and Charles T. Hall, MSN, MBA and headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. The company delivers six core service lines — Retained Executive Search, Healthcare Advisory Solutions, Board & Leadership Development, Healthcare Marketing & Community Engagement, EMS Solutions (a dedicated sub-brand), and Management Services — targeting healthcare systems, critical access hospitals, rural hospitals, primary and specialty care clinics, EMS agencies, and healthcare boards. Its proprietary methodology, HROrx Prescription for Safety Culture, developed by co-founder Hartz, is used to improve organizational culture, safety, and quality in hospital and health system engagements.

The firm operates a national footprint from a Wilmington headquarters and eight regional offices spanning Virginia, Florida, Maryland, Nebraska, Illinois, Washington, New York, and Delaware, with named clients across 11 states. Go-to-market is consultative and sales-led, combining direct enterprise engagement with healthcare C-suites and boards, strategic partnerships with industry associations (NRHA Pipeline Partner, ACHE, AHA, NEMSMA), and a content marketing engine anchored by The H&H Impact Podcast. Distribution is augmented by a network of strategic partners (Town Hall Marketing, Bon Chic Design, Naaman Creative, PLW Consulting, DEMI Group, among others) that extend capability into digital marketing, creative services, and emergency medicine staffing.

The business model is professional services — engagement-based pricing with multi-year retained search contracts and project-based advisory, leadership development, marketing, and EMS consulting engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Customers are small to mid-sized healthcare providers, with named logos including Wray Hospital & Clinic, Meadville Medical Center, Melissa Memorial Hospital, Edgerton Hospital, and LifeBridge Maryland Healthcare System. The firm holds no disclosed funding, has no parent company, and is owned by its founders; revenue is not publicly reported.
