What it does: McBride is a 100% physician-owned hospital and clinic that specializes in orthopedic care. It has been recognized for joint replacements, total knee replacements and hip fracture repair.
How it grew to become one of healthcare's hottest: When CEO Mark Galliart arrived at McBride five years ago, the struggling organization began the makeover it needed in the form of refocusing on patient satisfaction, assembling a new leadership team and implementing changes to improve cost efficiency.
The hospital has achieved a nearly 22% compounded annual growth rate from 2007 to 2012, underscoring Galliart's philosophy of “not worrying about costs in the beginning and knowing that growth comes over time.”
