Sunflower Health Advisors

What Sunflower Health Advisors does

Sunflower Health Advisors is a privately held, founder-led healthcare advisory firm based in Jacksonville, Florida, established in January 2024. The firm operates seven integrated service practices — Advisory, Product & Go-To-Market Strategy, Marketing & Communications, Technology, Operational & Leadership Support (Fractional C-Suite), Financial Management, and Program/Project Management — delivered by a team of five Managing Partners and 14 Expert Advisors with deep operating experience across payer, provider, and health technology organizations. Its primary segments are pre-seed to growth-stage healthcare startups, value-based care providers and ACOs, and mid-market to enterprise healthcare organizations requiring fractional executive leadership.

The firm combines traditional professional services with productized offerings. Technology services rely on an AI-assisted, low-code development methodology for wireframes, prototypes, and MVPs, positioning Sunflower as an alternative to full engineering teams for early-stage ventures. Marketing services have been productized into three transparent monthly tiers ($3,000 to $6,000) and a la carte project pricing, alongside a complimentary CMS Fax Mandate Readiness Analysis used as a compliance-themed lead generator.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services engagements — strategic planning, fractional C-suite, marketing retainers, product development, and financial management — billed on retainer, project, or subscription cadences. Distribution is direct via the firm's website, content marketing, and accelerator/VC partnerships, with services concentrated in the Southeast United States. No external funding, institutional investors, or material ownership changes are disclosed in the available source material.
