Consulting
After 15 years of working in everything from major academic medical centers to small nonprofits, I can confidently tell you the secret to successfully handling all sorts of challenges in this sector.
Are you ready?
Do the right things.
In the right order.
That’s about it. Also, iterate.
But how do you know the right things to do, and the right order to do them in?
You need a strategy.
That’s where I come in.
I work with accomplished, mission-driven teams who have tried the conventional wisdom and found that it didn't get them all the way to where they wanted to be.
My clients are ready to do deep, impactful work, and to lay the groundwork for bold new initiatives to take root.
Sound like you?

Eight Weeks to Strategic Clarity
The client organization had been through significant changes over the past few years, and needed clarity on how their programs and financial plans fit together. In eight weeks of meetings and a mini-retreat, we mapped the organization’s work and came up with a clear, coherent, one-page strategy brief to guide their decisions and work moving forward.
The Grants Program Playbook
The client, a community hospital, needed a clear strategy and implementation plan to grow its grants program. We assessed the hospital’s strengths alongside the overall landscape, and created a “playbook” to strategically guide every aspect of the grants program — from infrastructure needs to grants research criteria, to grantwriting and budget preparation best practices.
The Community Health Think Tank
I love facilitating think tanks! They’re a wonderful alternative to focus groups because they explicitly position community members as experts and allow more flexibility for the group to explore concepts and generate recommendations. I’ve done think tank facilitation and report prep for small nonprofits and large hospitals, and we’d love to talk more about this model.
I love solving challenging problems in healthcare delivery, community health program design, and nonprofit strategy. If a challenge has felt somewhat intractable — yet you’ve always suspected that maybe a different approach might move the needle — please get in touch! I’d love to think it through with you.
