Craig Kilgore, CEO of HealthLinks Consulting
Craig Kilgore CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

LEADERSHIP

More than 20 years building independent healthcare organizations

Craig's career in healthcare began with two decades guiding the strategic growth of the 150-provider multi-specialty organization Holston Medical Group, based in Kingsport, TN. Relocating to Charleston, SC, he was selected as the second CEO of Charleston ENT & Allergy, where he helped grow an independent specialty group into South Carolina's largest independent otolaryngology and allergy practice. In addition, he has held executive leadership roles at Coastal Vascular & Vein Center.

A Fellow of the American College of Medical Practice Executives, the profession's highest distinction, Craig has spent his career helping physician-led organizations grow, improve performance and build sustainable models for the long term.

“Physicians have the clinical expertise and passion to provide exceptional care, but many do not have access to the strategic resources and business guidance needed to grow. HealthLinks Consulting was created to help bridge that gap.”
