Healthcare doesn’t reward theory.
It rewards clarity, disciplined choices, and informed action.
If you are building or transforming in healthcare and want a thought partner who will ask hard questions and help you move faster, we’d love to connect.
Great victories are rarely accidental—they are positioned. In cycling, a “leadout” is the disciplined process in which the designated team leader, “The Sprinter” is strategically delivered to the finale of a race by their teammate, “The Leadout”. It is an orchestrated effort that delivers The Sprinter for the decisive moment in peak position and strength. The Leadout helps the team make the move that wins.
At Leadout Health Partners, we apply that same precision to business—guiding organizations through inflection points, sharp turns, complexity, and competitive pressure. When the moment to accelerate arrives, you’re ready. You are positioned to win.

Who we are
-
Leadout Health Partners was founded to help healthcare organizations turn bold ideas into real-world impact.
Founder Amy Gammelgard brings nearly 20 years of experience across healthcare strategy, innovation, and transformation. She has led high-stakes initiatives within large health systems and complex organizations, guiding teams through critical inflection points, emerging market opportunities, and strategic decisions that shape the future of care.
Amy has worked on both sides of the table—advising organizations developing new solutions and representing large healthcare enterprises evaluating which innovations to adopt, partner with, or scale. This perspective gives Leadout Health Partners a practical understanding of how healthcare actually works: the regulatory complexity, the operational realities, and the decisions required to move from concept to impact.
Leadout Health Partners was created to close the gap between promising ideas and successful execution. We help founders refine their strategy and business models within the healthcare ecosystem, while helping established organizations identify emerging opportunities, cut through complexity, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

In professional cycling, a leadout is the disciplined effort that positions a team’s sprinter for the decisive moment of the race. The Leadout teammates navigate complexity, manage the pace, and deliver the leader to the final stretch in perfect position to win.
Healthcare organizations face similar dynamics—complex systems, sharp turns, and moments where the right move at the right time matters most.
Leadout Health Partners exists to help leaders navigate those moments. We bring strategic clarity, deep industry understanding, and practical execution experience to position organizations for meaningful progress and lasting impact.
-
Integrity, creativity, discernment, and empathy shape the way we work. These aren't just words—they’re the foundation of everything we build.
What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.
-
We believe in keeping things simple, smart, and human. Every project starts with listening, involves deep collaboration along the way, and ends with something we're proud to share and/or would use or invest in ourselves.
For most projects, Leadout Health Partners helps organizations move forward through three essential phases:
Clarity: We cut through noise and complexity to define the opportunity, the risks, and the strategic path forward.
Alignment: We help leadership teams, stakeholders, and partners align around priorities, business models, and execution strategy.
Action: We translate strategy into practical steps—guiding key decisions, partnerships, and initiatives that move organizations forward.
