-- Very Bright Minds (VBM), a new healthcare communications strategy consultancy, launched today as an independent division of Sinuate Media, the 20-year-old, award-winning marketing and communications firm known for its Organic Marketing™ approach and deep roots in healthcare. VBM will focus exclusively on helping medical practices that are preparing to sell, merge, rebrand or grow their patient base navigate those transitions from a communications and reputation standpoint.
The spinoff comes as consolidation continues to reshape American healthcare. Just 42.2% of U.S. physicians remained in private practice in 2024, down from 60.1% in 2012, according to the American Medical Association, as hospitals, health systems, private equity firms and other corporate entities acquire independent practices at a growing rate. For physician-owners weighing a sale or merger, VBM prepares the practice from a communications and reputation perspective, ensuring patients, staff and referral partners experience a smooth transition. The firm's work is anchored by its In-Office Experience program, believed to be the only offering of its kind that evaluates the in-person patient experience and ties it directly back to a practice's online reputation and referral growth.
“We've watched the healthcare landscape shift dramatically, and practices today need a partner who understands both the clinical and business sides of a transition, whether that's a sale, a merger or simply repositioning for growth,” said Leah Messina, founder of Sinuate Media and Very Bright Minds. “Spinning VBM off into its own practice allows us to give healthcare clients the focused, specialized attention this moment demands, built on methods we've spent two decades refining.”
Very Bright Minds works with practices at every stage, from those exploring a sale or merger to those simply looking to strengthen their reputation or increase patient recruitment. Services include reputation strategy, patient experience audits, merger and transition communications, and targeted recruitment campaigns designed around each practice's goals.
