Our Partners
Timshel Health is a partner-based holding company that invests in and partners with direct care practices.
Timshel Health is not a private equity firm. Our capital comes from healthcare entrepreneurs and family offices who are mission-aligned and long-term oriented. Unlike other growth partners, we are in it for the long term, and we won’t push you to make shortsighted decisions.
About Timshel Health
-
Americans deserve truly affordably, high quality healthcare. Patients should be able to see their doctor without a middleman getting in the way. At Timshel, clinicians are empowered and patients come first.
-
Leaders of established practices who want to grow their practice and expand affordable, quality healthcare at large. They are great entrepreneurs who may not need us to run their practice today but want a growth partner to make their practice - and the direct care ecosystem as a whole - bigger and better.
-
We design every partnership and deal structure to fit the organizational goals and financial priorities of our partners. We encourage physicians to maintain meaningful equity in their practices, and we can accommodate more flexible deal structures than any other growth partner.
-
Unlike a private equity firm, our investors do not expect a sale or return in the near-term. This enables us to make intelligent, long-term decisions and ensures you won't be quickly passed on to a new owner.
Value Proposition
-
We will invest capital behind your practice, including hire top-tier providers and investing in your sales and marketing efforts. We will invest ahead of growth and help you expand much faster than otherwise possible.
-
In addition to running and growing their own practices, our partners play a key part in the strategy and growth of the broader company.
-
This is not a passive investment. I am a driven entrepreneur with valuable experience that will work hard as a partner to you and your business
-
Timshel is a holding company that emphasizes autonomy to encourage founders to remain entrepreneurial and to respect their practices’ cultures and clinical care. We will lean-in heavily to help you grow, but we won’t tell you how to run your practice

Timshel will support you with technology, business operations, strategy, employer sales, marketing, and hiring:
About the Name
Timshel borrows its name from East of Eden by John Steinbeck. Timshel, a Hebrew word for “thou mayest,” is a motif of the book that celebrates the beauty of the individual and the agency of individuals to choose their own path. We believe the American healthcare system has robbed providers and patients of their agency, and we want to help great healthcare practices in restoring that agency. We look for this ethos in all of our potential partners and how they treat their employees, providers, and patients, and we ensure it remains front and center as they grow and evolve. We bring this ethos to our holding company, where we celebrate the autonomy of each practice partner and empower our employees.
