What Our Clients are Saying

Whitecap has brought exceptional intelligence and creativity to all of the projects where they have worked with us. In one project with my board, the executives were impressed with the insights and alignment of goals that Whitecap gleaned from their facilitation of the discussion using the polling tool they have developed. Their polling technique combined with their facilitation expertise brings a crispness to discussions and drive solutions to complicated questions.

Karen BirdExecutive Director, Alliance of Dedicated Cancer Centers

Their team, skills and facilitation at all levels in their organization is superb! Their team provided our organization with an exceptional planning process that engaged all the right people and provided us the opportunity to create and launch a direction for our service line that builds on our history of achievement (excellent patient care and outcomes) and yet carries us forward in an accountable, exciting and creative way.

Caryn KaminOncology Service Line Director, Missouri Baptist Medical Center at BJC HealthCare

The Whitecap team brought excellent knowledge, insightful questions, and experience to the table as we evaluated our expansion project. They were very accommodating as we worked through the process, but also challenged any assumptions we had to ensure the process was objective. Excellent job!

Adam HeadCEO, CARTI Cancer Center

Whitecap was integral to a successful strategic partnership endeavor between WellStar Health System and Northwest Georgia Oncology Centers. Their subject matter, expertise, leadership, and overall coordination resulted bringing two organizations together through a very complex integration. Their hard work and dedication contributed substantially to our success. I know this was a huge effort that took countless hours of planning, management and execution to ensure a smooth implementation. We counted on Whitecap, and they delivered. For that, I am deeply appreciative of all their work, energy and time in helping bring this partnership to life.
