Operations

A management company
for your clinics.

Owning a clinic and running one are two different jobs. Middlemarch takes on the second, and we mean all of it: the staffing, the books, the technology, the building itself. From a broken exam light to the year-end books, the operational load lands on us so the clinical team can stay focused on care.

What we take on

The work we take off your desk

Day-to-day management

The hundred small decisions a clinic needs every week.

Scheduling, capacity, supplies, vendors, and everything in between. When the fridge alarm goes off at 6 a.m. or the front door won't lock, that call comes to us too. We put consistent processes behind the daily run of the clinic and hold the standard across every location you operate.

Back office & administration

Clean numbers on a predictable schedule.

Billing, claims, payroll, procurement, and compliance paperwork, handled by a team that does it all day. We keep the books clean through the year and line up the accountants for tax time, so you get a reliable month-end close instead of a scramble, and reporting you can actually act on.

People & performance

The people side of a healthy practice.

Hiring, onboarding, scheduling, and the performance conversations that keep a practice healthy, plus the operational reporting owners need to see how each site is actually doing.

The whole job

If it isn't clinical care, we can take it on

Running a clinic means being a facilities manager, an IT department, a finance office, and an HR team all at once. When we say operations, this is what we mean.

Facilities & equipment

The leaky faucet, the flickering exam light, the HVAC contract, the renovation quote. We coordinate the repairs, the maintenance schedules, and the trades, so problems get fixed instead of worked around.

IT operations

Networks, workstations, phones, printers, backups, and the EMR itself. We keep clinic technology running, patched, and supported, with our own software team behind us when something needs real engineering.

Finances & payroll

Bookkeeping, payables, payroll, and budgeting. We keep the books clean every month, then engage the accountants and hand them organized records at tax time, so the filings become a formality.

Hiring & HR

Job postings, interviews, onboarding, contracts, and the hard conversations. We staff the clinic and keep it staffed, with the HR paperwork done properly along the way.

Purchasing & vendors

Supplies, equipment leases, service contracts, and the negotiations behind them. One team ordering what the clinic needs and pushing back on what it costs.

Compliance & paperwork

Privacy obligations, college requirements, workplace safety, insurance renewals, and the filings that keep a clinic onside. Tracked on a calendar, not remembered at the deadline.

If something comes up that isn't on this list, it's still probably ours. The point of a management company is that you stop keeping the list.

On the ground

Operations happens in the building

Clinic operations is hands-on work, and we treat it that way. Our team shows up in person: walking the floor, meeting the front desk, and looking at the broken thing instead of asking for photos of it.

That presence changes how a clinic runs. Staff flag problems sooner because there's a person to mention them to, small issues get fixed before they become expensive ones, and patients walk into a building that simply works. When a job needs a licensed trade or a specialist, we bring them in, meet them at the door, and check the work before the invoice gets paid.

What showing up looks like

Scheduled walkthroughs of every location, not just visits when something breaks
An operations lead your staff know by name
Small fixes handled on the spot, trades booked for the rest
Vendors and contractors supervised on site
A running list for each clinic, worked down week over week

Who we work with

Owners who want the clinic run well, without running it

Clinician-owners

You built the practice to deliver care, and the management load grew around you. We take the operational job off your desk so your clinic days go back to being clinic days.

Multi-site groups

Two locations run on personality; five run on process. We bring a consistent playbook for staffing, purchasing, and reporting that keeps every site to the same standard as your best one.

Owners stepping back

You want to reduce your day-to-day involvement without selling the asset or watching it drift. We run the clinic to your standards and report to you like the owner you still are.

How it starts

From assessment to handover

Handing over operations is a serious decision, so we don't start with a contract. We start with a look at how the clinic actually runs.

Assessment

We spend time inside your clinic looking at the schedule, the billing, the staffing, and the numbers, then give you a plain-language picture of what's working and what's costing you.

Transition plan

We agree, in writing, on what we take over, what stays with you, and the standards we'll be held to, then transition responsibilities in stages, not overnight.

We run it

Our team takes on the day-to-day: the staff questions, the vendor calls, the billing cycle, the month-end close. Your team keeps caring for patients.

Report & improve

You get monthly financial and operational reporting and a standing owner's meeting. Every quarter we bring the list of what we're improving next. You approve the direction, we do the work.

Common questions

What owners usually ask us

Do we keep ownership and clinical control?

Always. You own the clinic, and clinical governance stays with clinicians. We run the business side, from operations and administration to people, and answer to you for it.

What happens to our current clinic manager?

It depends on the clinic. Often we work through your existing manager, giving them the systems, backup, and support they've never had. Where there's a gap, we fill it with our team.

Is there anything you don't handle?

Clinical care. Diagnosis, treatment, and everything patient-facing on the medical side stays with your clinicians, full stop. On the business side the scope is genuinely broad: facilities, IT, finances, hiring, purchasing, compliance. For taxes, we keep the books, bring in the accountants, and manage them through the filings, so tax season happens without you chasing anyone. If you're wondering whether something is in scope, it almost certainly is, and if it isn't we'll say so plainly.

Where do you provide service?

We can manage a clinic anywhere in Canada. The back office, the books, the reporting, and the vendor management all run the same regardless of postal code. Our on-the-ground presence is strongest in southern Ontario and the GTA, where our team is regularly in clinics in person. Outside that area we still run your operation fully; on-site visits just happen on a planned schedule rather than a quick drive over.

Can you take over just part of the operation?

Yes. Some owners hand us everything; others start with the back office or a single struggling location. The transition plan defines the scope, and it can grow when you're ready.

How do fees work?

A management fee scaled to the size and scope of what we run, agreed up front. Our reporting shows you every month what the fee bought. If the numbers don't justify us, you'll see that too.
