Meet Equus Growth: A New Kind of Healthcare Advisory Partner

Meet Equus Growth: A New Kind of Healthcare Advisory Partner

We’re proud to officially introduce Equus Growth Healthcare Advisory - a new firm built by operators, not just consultants. Our mission is simple: to partner with healthcare leaders and turn their vision into measurable, sustainable growth.

What if your consultant didn't just tell you what to do but rolled up their sleeves and did it right next to you?

Founded by a team of seasoned industry executives - Jeremy VanDevender (former Chief Revenue Officer of Ivy Rehab), Matt Byrne (former VP at Pivot Physical Therapy, an Athletico Company), and Scott McKee (Managing Member of Sidecar Group) - Equus was created for one reason: to deliver the kind of real-world guidance, execution, and support we wish we had when we were in your shoes. We help you define clear goals for your business, map out strategies that really work, and put the right people in the right places to get it done.

Built by Operators, Designed for Growth

At Equus, we’re not interested in writing slide decks that sit on a shelf. We embed with your team. We take ownership of outcomes. We close the gaps standing between your strategy and your results.

Our team brings deep, hands-on expertise in:

• Clinical and Administrative Operations
• Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)
• Revenue Cycle Management (RCM)
• Sales and Business Development
• Accounting & Finance
• Marketing, IT, and Digital Transformation
• Health Data and Informatics
• Patient and Customer Experience

This isn’t theory. It’s execution - delivered by people who’ve scaled national brands, closed complex acquisitions, built teams, and led from the inside.

“In a rapidly changing healthcare landscape, leaders need a partner who can help them move from uncertainty to clarity - and from vision to completion,” said Jeremy VanDevender. “Having scaled businesses from the inside, we know that genuine partnership and excellence in execution are what create transformative value for providers, patients, and the communities they serve.”

A Partnership Model That Works

Unlike traditional consulting firms, we operate under an embedded partnership model. That means we don’t just advise - we guide, build, and implement alongside you. When the challenge calls for highly specialized expertise, we bring in elite, curated advisors from our network to deliver the exact support needed.

“We are partners, not just advisors,” said Matt Byrne. “True growth requires operator discipline and real, trustworthy support. Our approach is simple: advise, guide, and execute - together.”

And as Scott McKee put it:

“We have partnered with the Equus team to enhance our ability to serve both our existing and future clients. We believe that the advisors at Equus will bring significant value to our clients!”

Why Equus? Because Healthcare Is Different

We’ve worked in healthcare for decades. We understand the regulatory complexity, the operational hurdles, the payer dynamics, and the patient expectations that make this space uniquely challenging - and uniquely rewarding.

That’s why our goal is to be the most trusted growth partner in healthcare. Whether you're scaling a regional clinic group, navigating M&A, improving RCM processes, or rethinking your patient experience, Equus brings the right mix of strategy, hands-on support, and industry insight.

Ready to Grow with Confidence?

If you're a healthcare leader ready to go beyond generic consulting and partner with people who truly understand the business from the inside out, we’d love to connect.
