Senior clinical leadership, operational rigor, and editorial precision — for the founders, investors, and publishers building the next chapter of healthcare.
About
L.C. Bell Consulting is the independent practice of Laura Kusminsky, PA-C — a senior clinical operations executive with a decade at the front lines of high-touch digital health, and an editorial background rooted in medical publishing. The name continues the lineage of L.C. Bell Press, the independent imprint that developed and published Surgery for the Physician Assistant, a clinical rotation guide for PA students.
Most digital health products are built without senior clinical judgment in the room. L.C. Bell closes that gap. The work spans clinical operations advisory, market and feasibility research for new healthcare ventures, and developmental editing of clinical and patient-facing materials — typically for early-stage teams who need a senior clinician who can also write.
Engagements are senior-led, hands-on, and selectively taken.
Services
i.
For digital health teams designing or scaling care delivery: workflow design, capacity modeling, telehealth buildout, specialist network development, and clinical SOPs grounded in a decade of frontline operating experience.
ii.
For founders and investors evaluating new healthcare ventures: competitive landscape analysis, service-model design, and operational viability assessment — written with a clinician's eye for what will actually work in practice.
iii.
For publishers, med-comms agencies, and digital health teams producing clinical or patient-facing content: clinical accuracy review, structural editing, and voice refinement from a working clinician with a publishing background.
Approach
Selected Work
Conducted extensive market research and feasibility analysis for a healthcare navigation venture focused on patients with cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative conditions. Scope included competitive landscape mapping, service-model development, and operational viability assessment.
Delivered to founders evaluating market entry; informed clinical strategy and product positioning.
Provided developmental editing and clinical-accuracy review for an early-stage digital health company building a curated specialist-network model focused on aesthetic medicine — connecting members with best-in-class providers across procedures from neuromodulators and dermal fillers to surgical interventions.
Scope spanned core member-facing materials and explanatory content on treatment options — including the clinical and practical differences between non-surgical pathways and surgical alternatives. Deliverables were used to orient members to the company's offerings and to the spectrum of care available to them.
Questions
From founder/early-stage through scale-up. The common thread is companies where senior clinical judgment is missing from the room and would change the trajectory.
