About Us
Our Story
We’re a group of creative healthcare leaders with more than 100 years of experience in B2B strategy, growth, marketing, operations, innovation, and investment. We’ve practiced in the provider, health plan, community health, and technology sectors. Throughout our experiences, we came to believe that healthcare in America must transition to a market-based industry to survive. We also encountered many promising businesses designed to thrive in this “smart health market” that weren’t succeeding.
We created Canton & Company to make sure they would.

What We Do
As healthcare growth catalysts, we help providers, vendors, payers, investors, and other organizations develop the fastest path to sustainable success in the evolving value-based landscape. Our comprehensive suite of growth services includes Strategy & Execution, Marketing & Communications, Performance & Business Transformation, and Innovation & Ventures.
We’re not just advisors and consultants, we’re doers. From overall business strategy and growth acceleration, to marketing, operational performance improvement, and innovation, we fill the gaps holding good companies back from being great successes.

Our approach is simple.
Whether it’s a complex corporate pivot, growth strategy, or other arrangement, we implement an easy-to-follow process designed to speed results.
