About Kearny Street
Management services — for healthcare organizations.
Founded in 2002 by David Smith. Provider Network Development is the practice this site is built around — it sits inside a broader management consultancy that has served healthcare leaders for more than two decades.
Kearny Street Management was founded in 2002 by David Smith. Mr. Smith has been a leader in the healthcare industry for over 35 years, with extensive experience across several facets of the business.
Working for both the provider and payor sides has taught us the importance — and the balance — between the two. Most engagements live in the tension between those two lenses, and reconciling them is a practice in itself.
Kearny Street engages other experienced healthcare professionals as needed to deliver excellent service to all our clients. We listen to our clients' needs, map out a plan, and execute the plan. Our goal is to provide simple solutions to complex problems.

Why "Kearny Street"?
A nod to a place we've worked from. Less a brand exercise, more a marker that we've been doing this work for a while — and intend to keep doing it.
Our mission
“To provide great service to our clients by listening to each opportunity and providing simple solutions to assure proper execution and positive outcomes.”
How we work.
Three steps. Same as it was in 2002.
Listen first.
Every engagement starts with the client's words, not our framework. The plan flows from the listening — not the other way around.
Map the plan.
A real plan, with named owners and dates, not a deck. The map is what the work runs from for the duration of the engagement.
Execute it.
We engage the right additional professionals when needed, run the cadence, and stay accountable to the dates we put in writing.
