About Us

Valiante Healthcare Management Solutions (VHMS) has been a leader in transforming healthcare provider, payer and investor performance for over forty years.  Led by its Founder and President, John Valiante, the firm has successfully advised clients in changing strategy, organization and execution, including interim management, to increase speed of execution.

John’s leadership in building, operating, advising and governing successful healthcare organizations across the full spectrum of services provides the foundation for our work.  He began his career in the managed care industry, advising numerous developing HMO plans and starting a 800-physician-owned HMO in the Washington, DC area, Physicians Care.  After selling the plan to Blue Cross and moving to Wyoming, he led the successful turnaround and expansion of the medical center in Jackson Hole, now St. John’s Health.  

Following consulting projects with several health systems and managed care organizations, he was tapped by the National Football League to develop a WADA-certified performance-enhancing drug testing laboratory in Salt Lake City.   John became involved in the Arizona market through consulting with HonorHealth, Hospice of the Valley, Schaller-Anderson, Commonwealth Primary Care ACO and Trinity Air Medical.  This, in turn, led to executive leader roles at Southwestern Eye Center, now the core group in American Vision Partners, and Barrow Brain and Spine, one the nation’s foremost neurosurgical groups affiliated with Dignity Health and Honor Health.
