About Hive
The business side of health
We help physicians, clinics and the organizations that support them make sound business decisions, with clear financial information, practical frameworks and honest advice.
Ten years in primary care in BC
When we started Hive, we saw clinicians with real vision for the care they wanted to offer, and a system that didn't always bring business thinking to the table. That is still why we do this work.
Over ten years we've gone from helping physicians open their first clinics to supporting Divisions, health organizations and system partners across BC. Clinicians lead the care. We bring the business side that helps it last.

We bring business thinking to health care, so the people who deliver care can build practices and programs that last.
How we work
Understand before we advise
We build the relationship first and take the time to understand how each practice and organization really works.
Honest advice
We tell clients what we see, even when it isn't the answer they hoped for.
Simple and practical
Our work is grounded in how clinics actually operate and built to be used.
Insight from real data
We gather real data from the field and turn it into insight that goes deeper than what's publicly available.
In it for the long run
We help practices and the system stay healthy over time, and we plan to be here for the long run too.
