Services
How I work with health centers.
Every engagement is scoped to the organization. Some health centers need ongoing operational leadership. Others need a defined project with a clear deliverable. A few just need a steady outside perspective. The right fit depends on where you are and what you need.

Get in TouchBackground
Built from the inside out.
Most of my career was spent running health centers, not advising them. I've served as COO, CEO, and CIO across organizations ranging from 9 million to 70 million dollars in operating budget, across multiple states and clinic configurations.
I know what it looks like when an FQHC is operating well and when it isn't, because I've been accountable for both. That experience is what I bring to every engagement.
I also co-founded the Health Center Vendor Network, a platform built specifically for FQHC vendor evaluation and selection. My background combines hands-on operational leadership with graduate-level training in healthcare management, which informs how I approach both strategy and execution.
