Creating value
Seven levers. One plan.
Your center’s systems often don’t talk to one another.
Admissions, staffing, care delivery, and billing affect each other. We connect them in one plan so you can see what to change first, how it affects the rest, and where the next bottleneck may appear.
Admissions
Help the right patients get from first call to care.
- First order:More admissions
- Second order:Fuller programs
- New bottleneck:Staff capacity

FAQ
What does EBITDA tell me about my center?
EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It is a measure of profitability. It is also commonly used as a basis for valuing a company when it is sold. The Blueprint connects admissions, reimbursement, staffing, and collections to show how operating changes could improve it while protecting care quality.
What happens on the fit call?
We spend 25 minutes on your numbers, your goals, and your questions. Then we decide together if the Blueprint makes sense. You don’t need financial documents for the call.
Who can join the Founders Cohort?
This offer is for the next three qualifying centers that enroll October 1–31, 2026. Enrollment closes when all three places are filled or at the end of October 31, Central Time. This founding package at this price will not be offered again. Applying or booking a fit call does not reserve a place.
How do the six weeks and 90 days fit together?
Your Blueprint is built over six weeks. Founders receive coaching, specialist support, and a private owner community for 90 days from the cohort kickoff. We confirm the kickoff and live-session dates before you enroll.
What is Bob’s role?
Arden Clark leads your Blueprint. Bob Poznanovich joins as a thought partner and coach for three shared live cohort sessions over 90 days. Together, you’ll pressure-test priorities and work through implementation questions with the other founding owners.
What is included in the presentation pack?
Founders receive a tailored owner and board deck that brings their model and action plan together, plus 20+ presentation templates to use with boards, partners, lenders, or potential buyers.
Do I need to be planning a sale?
No. The model helps you choose how to grow and improve profit. It also lets you explore a future sale if that’s part of your plan.
Can you help us put the plan into action?
Yes. Founders receive 90 days of always-on support directly from Arden Clark partners. Ask a question any time; we route it to the right expert and respond within 48 hours. If you want Arden Clark to take on delivery of specific projects, we agree on that additional scope and fee separately.
Does the guarantee cover actual earnings?
It covers the realistic annual EBITDA upside identified in your model, using assumptions you approve. Actual earnings depend on putting the plan into action. The remedies are extra work or fee credit, as described above; it is not a cash refund.
