HealthChiefs (Invite Only Healthcare Execs Network)

What HealthChiefs (Invite Only Healthcare Execs Network) does

HealthChiefs is a privately held, invitation-only executive networking community that connects senior healthcare leaders across payers, providers, innovators, and private equity/venture capital. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, the company organizes curated, in-person evening events at premium venues (such as The Capital Grille) where C-suite attendees engage in peer-to-peer dialogue under a strict "no selling" rule. The organization has expanded to three announced chapters: Jacksonville (original, 2015), Tampa (launched August 2025), and Washington D.C. (announced as forthcoming).

The product surface is intentionally minimal and non-technological. There is no proprietary software platform, no API, no mobile application, and no AI-enabled matchmaking. The "Members Directory" and event RSVP functionality are accessible through a basic authenticated member login on the website (healthchiefs.org). The technical infrastructure is essentially a content and contact layer supporting an offline community experience.

The business model is a hybrid of two revenue streams: event sponsorship and membership fees. The only publicly disclosed price is a $6,000 Premier Event Sponsorship package, which provides logo placement, a 10-minute thought leadership spotlight, and C-suite access across two events per chapter per year. With three chapters, the maximum theoretical sponsorship ceiling is six events annually at $6,000 each, totaling $36,000. Membership fees are referenced but not publicly priced. The company is led by Nicole Bradberry (also CEO of Florida and Texas Associations of ACOs and Nuvita Health) and Mike Shumer (Partner at All Tides Capital), and has no disclosed external funding, headcount, or financial metrics.
