Building Longevity Practices With the End in Mind: The LHM Partners Approach
As we begin a new year, many longevity, hormone, and wellness practice owners are thinking about growth, innovation, and sustainability. You’re trailblazers, bringing forward-thinking patients access to advanced therapies that redefine aging and performance. But the most successful practices don’t just focus on today. They plan intentionally for the future.
At LHM Partners, we believe the strongest practices are built with the end in mind.
A Smarter Path to a Future Joint Sale
Independent practice ownership offers autonomy, but it can also limit leverage when it comes time to sell. LHM Partners was created to solve that challenge by bringing together like-minded longevity practices into a collaborative platform designed to optimize future joint sale opportunities.
By partnering early, practice owners gain access to valuation levels and deal terms typically reserved for larger group practices, often estimated at 10–15X EBITDA, while maintaining greater control leading up to and even after a sale
.This approach benefits everyone involved:
Practice owners can optimize both valuation and pre-sale control
Providers retain clinical autonomy before and after a transaction
Investors gain consistent outcomes, reliable cash flow, and scalable growth potential
More Than a Platform—A Community
Longevity medicine is evolving rapidly, and no practice should have to navigate that growth alone. LHM Partners offers a built-in community of practice owners, providers, and managers who share a passion for advancing longevity, hormone, and wellness care.
Through monthly video meetings and ongoing informal collaboration, members exchange best practices, operational insights, and clinical strategies. This sense of camaraderie, often only found in large health systems, helps practices improve patient outcomes, strengthen operations, and enhance professional satisfaction.
Expertise to Help You Start Right
For those launching a longevity practice, excitement often comes with complexity. From clinical program design to infrastructure decisions, the startup phase can be overwhelming and costly without the right guidance.
LHM Partners offers hands-on expertise from leaders who have started, run, and scaled longevity practices. Our team provides:
Strategic advice on business processes, clinical offerings, and infrastructure
Practical support to negotiate contracts, prepare documents, and recruit staff
Access to pre-vetted vendors with often pre-negotiated agreements
This support saves time, reduces risk, and lowers costs compared to navigating the process on your own or relying on traditional startup firms.
A Vision Born From Experience
LHM Partners was founded to bring private-equity-level advantages to independent longevity practices. The idea began in 2024 when co-founder Dr. Hyung Kim launched his own longevity practice and saw firsthand how limited individual leverage could be—especially compared to his experience as a hospital system president.
Together with CEO Kristen Cusack and a team of experienced operators, LHM Partners was built to empower practice owners to start strong, grow strategically, and ultimately sell together on better terms.
Looking Ahead
As we step into the new year, LHM Partners remains focused on one mission: helping longevity, hormone, and wellness practices thrive today while preparing intelligently for tomorrow.
Whether you are launching a new practice, optimizing your current operation, or thinking ahead to a future sale, the right partnerships can make all the difference.
