About HIPPO MT
Your trusted partner in healthcare compliance. We help healthcare organizations navigate complex regulatory requirements with confidence.
Our Founder

Darren Speed, MS, CHC
Founder & Chief Compliance Officer
Darren Speed, MS, CHC is the founder of HIPPO MT and a healthcare compliance professional with over 15 years of executive-level experience across some of the nation's most complex healthcare organizations.
Before founding HIPPO MT, Darren served as Chief Compliance Officer at Akumin — a $600 million diagnostic imaging company operating in 150+ locations — where he built and led a comprehensive compliance program at scale. Prior to that, he served as Director of Corporate Compliance at Cantex, a multi-service healthcare organization spanning skilled nursing facilities, hospice, home health, and pharmaceutical services.
That depth of experience across radiology, post-acute care, hospice, home health, and pharmaceuticals gives HIPPO MT a perspective that most compliance consultants simply can't offer — an understanding of how compliance works (and breaks down) in the real world, not just on paper.
Darren holds a Master of Science degree and the Certified in Healthcare Compliance (CHC) credential, the gold standard certification in the healthcare compliance profession.
Today, HIPPO MT provides hands-on compliance consulting and proprietary compliance software to hospitals, private practices, and healthcare organizations of all sizes nationwide. Whether you need a full compliance program build, a risk assessment, policy development, or a software solution to manage it all — HIPPO MT delivers the expertise and tools to keep your organization compliant and confident.
