We help healthcare organizations detect and develop opportunities that improve health outcomes for communities likely to have experienced health inequities, reduce costs, and improve the experience for both providers and the people served.

We’ve worked with clients and partners to successfully design and implement two of the most challenging systems changes: integrating physical health and substance use treatment into behavioral health, and improving outcomes for populations with complex life circumstances.

As a former direct service provider, a program administrator in the public behavioral health system, and a leader in a large provider organization, our founder knows the challenge of managing day-to-day work while fostering innovation that improves the lives of people served and enables organizations to thrive.

Some of our initiatives include:
