1100 Partners

What 1100 Partners does

1100 Partners is a privately held, founder-led healthcare consulting boutique based in Wisconsin that delivers custom advisory engagements to rural and mid-sized hospitals, health systems, specialty clinics, and long-term or post-acute care facilities. The firm is structured around three managing partners — Mike Sanders (Stanford MBA, ACHE Fellow, 30+ years healthcare CEO experience), Cindy Werkheiser (Lean methodology, banking, and M&A integration leadership), and Carrie Blum (Epic implementation and master facility planning) — supported by five senior managers and consultants with clinical and IT specializations including geriatrics, psychiatric mental health, Epic infrastructure, quality accreditation, and specialty clinic operations.

The firm offers eight service lines rather than a software product: Culture of Continuous Improvement (Lean), Interim Leadership, Employee Engagement, Patient Experience, IT Strategy, Strategic Planning, Workflow Design and Implementation, and Clinical Expertise. Its core operating methodology is Lean process improvement, wrapped around a Service Behaviors and Expectations Framework for culture transformation and a Workflow Design process that links operational redesign to capital project execution. Engagement packages are bespoke, priced on inquiry, and structured as multi-year contracts rather than standardized tiers.

1100 Partners generates revenue entirely through professional services delivered directly by its partner and senior-manager team. Distribution is sales-led via the company website (1100partners.com) and referral-based relationships; there is no evidence of digital marketing, self-serve channels, or third-party partnerships. The firm has no disclosed external funding, no subsidiaries, and no public financial reporting. Awards for individual team members (2019 ACHE-Wisconsin Regent's Award; 2020 Distinguished Educator in Gerontological Nursing) and board seats at Wisconsin Hospital Association, Rural Wisconsin Health Cooperative, and Epic Advisory Council underpin its credibility within the rural and community-hospital buyer segment.
