Andrew Opsahl Email & Phone Number

With more than 20 years in the health care industry, I lead organizations from problems to solutions. More specifically, I help senior care companies improve their business outcomes through mergers and acquisitions (M&A), repositioning, operational discipline, and turnaround strategy implementation. As Vice President of Business Development for Benedictine, which operates dozens of communities across 5 states in senior care services, I’ve overseen the acquisition of more than $80 million in assets. My role in this process is from soup to nuts, strategic planning and vision for growth through to facilitating transition teams to seamlessly integrate new businesses into the legacy organization. Beyond acquisition, my role in this organization also looks to growth through redevelopment of current facilities, improving customer experience and elevating services; through expansion projects, adding more than 280 units via building new facilities; and through expansion of service offerings that are in-line with the business model, such as low-income housing and cooperative senior housing. Solving problems has long been my profession. As my first role as Administrator & CEO, I was told when hired that the owners were going to close the community. With my team, I revitalized the company from its failing state to one that is still open today, seeing the best results in company history on a percentage basis. I found operating the business, diagnosing and solving problems, motivating people and creating strategy to be very enjoyable. Whether it is working with my team to perform a market analysis on a potential acquisition or creating transition teams to ease the transition, people leadership and motivation is a crucial part of what I do every day. To do so well, I listen and understand first, extending respect to those around me, while continuing to seek change. I’ve had the pleasure of working with and mentoring a number of individuals who have gone on to create thriving professional lives defining, measuring, and focusing on key performance indicators and leading teams of their own. It’s my honor to pass these skills on to others so that they may effect change and aid in the quality deliverables of this industry. As a seasoned executive, leader, and problem solver, I welcome conversations that help you to get through to the solution. If that’s you, send me a message!
