Get in TouchOur Mission
WatersEdge Consulting partners with organizations at the forefront of health and wellness innovation — helping them define strategy, accelerate growth, and create lasting impact at scale.
Founded by Mike Waters, MHA, WatersEdge brings 20+ years of executive leadership across some of the nation's most complex healthcare systems. We translate deep operational expertise into actionable strategies that move organizations forward.
Whether you're a startup navigating your first market entry or an established organization seeking transformational change, WatersEdge brings the clarity, relationships, and execution capability to help you succeed.
Who We Serve
WatersEdge works with a focused set of clients where our healthcare operating experience creates the greatest impact:
Digital Health & Health Tech Companies — early-stage to growth-stage organizations building the next generation of care delivery, analytics, and patient engagement.
Private Equity & Venture Investors — firms seeking an operating partner with deep healthcare networks and the credibility to accelerate portfolio company performance.
Health Systems & Provider Organizations — leaders navigating strategic inflection points, operational transformation, or new venture development.
Payers & Managed Care Organizations — organizations looking to innovate their care models, improve outcomes, and build high-value partnerships.
What We Do
We work alongside leadership teams to set direction, align the organization, and turn strategy into measurable results — not just slide decks.
Entering a new market or launching a new product in healthcare requires insider knowledge. We've sat on both sides of the table — as buyers and builders.
Healthcare investors expect founders who deeply understand the operating environment. We help you speak that language — and build the credibility to close.
Healthcare sales cycles are long, complex, and relationship-driven. We help you build a motion that works — and open doors that are otherwise closed.
Decisions made on assumptions are expensive. We ground strategy in real market intelligence — from the people and systems that actually make purchasing decisions.
The right partnership can compress years of growth into months. We leverage 20+ years of relationships across health systems, payers, and investors to make introductions that matter.

Leadership
Mike Waters founded WatersEdge Consulting on a conviction that has only grown stronger over 20+ years leading complex health systems: that the future of health belongs to organizations willing to meet people where they are — not where the system expects them to show up.
That means treating patients as consumers. People who expect convenience, transparency, and personalized engagement. People who make decisions about their health the same way they make decisions about everything else in their lives — based on access, trust, and experience. The organizations winning in healthcare today understand this shift. WatersEdge helps more of them get there.
But this isn't just about healthcare services. Real impact starts upstream — in prevention, early intervention, and wellness. When people have the tools and support to stay healthy before they're sick, the entire system performs better. That's the fuller promise of democratizing health and wellness: making high-quality care and proactive health support available to everyone, not just those with the means or access to seek it out.
Providers are at the center of all of it. When they have the right partnerships, tools, and operational clarity, something powerful happens — patients get a better experience, populations get healthier, costs come down, and the people delivering care can actually sustain doing the work they trained for. Increasingly, that also means embracing technology and AI not as a replacement for human judgment and compassion, but as a multiplier — giving providers more capacity to focus on what only they can do, and giving patients more consistent, personalized support between encounters.
That is the mission: Empowering organizations to democratize health & wellness. Accelerating scale and using innovation to deliver meaningful value across the healthcare ecosystem. Mike brings that lens to every engagement — whether working with a digital health startup finding its footing, a health system navigating transformation, or an investor building a portfolio with lasting impact.
The question is always the same: does this make it easier for people to live healthier lives — and for the providers serving them to do their best work?
