At Sellers Dorsey, impact is, and always has been, about people –both the people our clients serve and the people who work alongside us every day. As a healthcare impact strategy firm, how we help others defines who we are. Our impact on healthcare access, quality, and outcomes for vulnerable populations nationwide drives everything we do. For 25 years, in an ever-changing landscape, one constant has remained, and that is our commitment to helping individuals live their healthiest lives by strengthening healthcare programs.
That mission began 25 years ago with a partnership rooted in purpose. In 2000, Martin (Marty) Sellers founded the Firm, bringing decades of healthcare innovation and government affairs expertise. From day one, his vision was clear: to improve healthcare for those who need it most. But vision alone doesn’t create a movement. It takes a partner to bring it to life.
Alongside Marty was Brian Dorsey, now the Firm’s Chief Culture Officer. Brian’s connection to the mission was personal—his family knew firsthand that health insurance was not a given and not to be taken for granted. With deep experience in public relations and healthcare communications, Brian helped shape not just how the Firm showed up in the world, but who we would become.
Together, Marty and Brian forged a partnership that became the backbone of Sellers Dorsey. Their shared commitment to service and access created a firm where mission and culture go hand in hand. “It takes a team to truly make an impact,” says Marty. “And to build a team, you need culture,” Brian adds. Their collaboration helped build both.
From this foundation, Sellers Dorsey grew into a mission-driven firm with a mission-driven team. Since 2000, Sellers Dorsey has been our clients’ trusted partners, consulting on a wide range of financing, policy, and operational initiatives in nearly every state, driving local impact through tailored, integrated solutions.
As a team made up of experts across the healthcare system, we bring a 360-degree approach to realizing opportunities for innovation and redefining possibilities to solve complex challenges. Our work has positively impacted millions of lives in the communities our clients serve. We know there is still work to be done, and with our clearly defined mission, culture, and core values, we’re committed to exploring opportunities with new and existing clients that focus on improving quality, access, and outcomes.
As we continue to build upon our strongly rooted history, we remain steadfast in our belief that healthcare can and should work better for everyone. The challenges are real, but so are the opportunities. We will continue building strong partnerships, elevating bold ideas, and staying rooted in the values that have guided us since day one. Together, with our clients, we’ll keep pushing boundaries, shaping policy, and expanding access to quality care—because impact doesn’t end, it evolves.
