Experience has always mattered in healthcare – but there are moments when it matters even more.
Warbird Healthcare Advisors closed out 2025 grounded in a belief we’ve shared since the first edition of The Warbird Brief: Unprecedented does not mean impossible. And with the start of 2026, we’re in one of those moments.
Many organizations are facing decisions that can’t be deferred and challenges that can’t be solved by theory alone. This year will demand clarity, direction and the ability to execute.

As we start 2026, Mike Draa, CEO of Warbird Healthcare Advisors, shared his thoughts on what it takes to find a clear and effective path forward, even in difficult and shifting times.
In his most recent Warbird Brief column, Mike highlighted how this is a moment where Warbird’s consultant community excels: Stepping in when experience matters most. Providing structure, direction and follow-through. Turning uncertainty into execution.
Because whether your focus is on stabilizing operations, preserving independence, pursuing transformation or enabling growth, the entire Warbird team is here to support you.
