What was the specific challenge or decision you were facing before working with RAW Advising, and what changed as a result?
Healthcare Growth Advisory
Make the growth decision
then execute it.
I help healthcare organizations decide where to grow, what it will take, and how to make the move work. The work is grounded in direct execution: $500M+ raised, 25 ORs opened, and 200 beds added.

Why RAW Advising
Decide where to grow. Know what it takes. Execute with discipline.
Growth Decisions with Numbers Behind Them
I build the model, expose the tradeoffs, and define the operating assumptions behind the move. Leadership gets a decision they can defend to the board, investors, physicians, and operators.
Healthcare Execution, Not Abstract Advice
The work is grounded in capital raises, facility expansion, ASC development, payer economics, and health system operations. The recommendations account for governance, reimbursement, staffing, and implementation risk.
Follow-Through After the Decision
I stay close enough to the work to pressure-test the path from analysis to action. That means sequencing the work, clarifying ownership, and keeping execution tied to the economics that justified the decision.

Execution Behind the Advice
Andy Wilkinson, MS, MHA, FHFMA — Founder, RAW Advising
I help healthcare leadership teams make growth decisions that require real financial discipline and operational follow-through.
Before RAW Advising, I owned the mechanics behind complex healthcare expansion: financing, business cases, physician alignment, payer strategy, facility planning, operating assumptions, and implementation oversight.
That work includes more than $500M raised, 25 operating rooms opened, 200 beds added, and major health system initiatives that required capital, governance, operating discipline, and executive trust.
I have worked inside the decisions, not just around them: ASC development and operations, expansion planning, physician practice acquisition, off-campus surgery strategy, payer contracting, and a $200M IT and EHR implementation.
RAW Advising exists for leaders who need a clear answer on whether to move, how to fund it, what could break, and what has to happen next.
