Patient Square Capital’s Post

Excited to share I have started my own strategy and investment advisory firm, Margin4Mission, LLC. At Margin4Mission we echo Sachin H. Jain, MD, MBA's perspective that margin should serve as a means to achieve an organization’s mission, rather than being the mission itself (see his amazing article in Forbes, 4/29/22). Special thanks to my family, friends and former colleagues who continue to believe in me, and have supported me in launching my long-time dream. Next week I’ll be at #jpm2024 and hope to see some of you there or elsewhere, soon! Until then, here’s to new a year, new beginnings, and as would every healthcare startup founder say, changing the world! #healthcare #investments #innovation #lvingmydream #gratitude About Margin4Mission, LLC: Founded by Sara Silacci, Margin4Mission is dedicated to revolutionizing healthcare accessibility, outcomes, affordability, and sustainability for all patients and caregivers.

Despite the broader slow-down in VC funding, medtech saw over 20 % growth in deal value in Q1, according to the latest data from Pitchbook 📈 One good thing that could come out of this cooling period, is an increased focus on healthcare and medtech from venture capitalists. Perhaps one day we'll see more VC investments in human health than in ad delivery 📺⚕️ Wouldn't that be something? 🤞 #MedicalDevices #Medtech #InnovationInHealthcare #VentureCapital #HealthTech #Ophthalmology

🖱️ Clicks and mortar 🧱 — it's a term I haven't heard in awhile, but it perfectly captures the evolving landscape of hybrid healthcare delivery. In today's world, it's not about choosing between digital and in-person care; it's about crafting an experience where each complements the other. Imagine a future where some touch points are seamlessly handled by digital tools, while others are enriched through human connection—each step enhancing the overall care experience. Healthcare is inherently local, rooted in relationships, trust, and that irreplaceable human touch. While digital innovations are reshaping the way we approach care, there will always be a need for the personal, in-clinic experience—a chance to create a cohesive journey across both digital and analog channels. Don't undervalue or underestimate the physical clinic is the take home message in this article from Christina Farr, Anarghya Vardhana, and Carine Carmy - https://lnkd.in/gBhpKyYP What do you think about the future of hybrid healthcare? How do you see the balance between digital convenience and the necessity of in-person care? Share your thoughts below—I’d love to hear your perspective!

Nick Aubin and I have been banging this drum for years. In fact, the idea of capital-conscious, value-focused, high touch, engaging, (thoughtfully) tech-enabled, hybrid MSK care is what brought the two of us together. Based on years of experiencing the challenges and opportunities of frontline care delivery, I daydreamed (and bloviated) about the "Arthritis Centers of Excellence" concept. Turns out, Nick was already building it with Commons Clinic. It's nice to see that others share the vision that physical clinics are underappreciated and overlooked. Turns out, the case has already been made many times over across the country by B&M practices, ASCs, and outpatient centers. These locations have been successful both clinically and financially. They just haven't necessarily gotten attention from the VC/health tech community, Big Retailers, Big Tech, and others apprehensive about the time, cost, and risk associated with building or backing these efforts. This aversion is especially true for specialty practices and procedure-based physical locations. It bears considering that, despite current day struggles, in-person care healthcare has a pretty strong track record. While we want to SaaS and quickly scale everything, traditional care delivery often succeeds in spite of technology, not (yet) because of it. We did OK before virtual care became a thing. Sure, things aren't perfect, but that's the opportunity. Something to ponder. #medicine #healthcare #health #healthcareinnovation

This is optimal.
