Healthcare Consulting Group

Since 1982, our Healthcare Consulting Group (HCG) has successfully provided quality, pragmatic and affordable solutions to business and management problems for many nonprofit community healthcare providers that are coping with an ever-changing environment.

We serve hospitals, community clinics, long term care facilities, disease-related organizations, professional, trade and umbrella organizations, specialty groups/service agencies, and medical schools, as well as state, city and local agencies involved with healthcare.

Our roster of men and women executives, who average 30 years of practical business and managerial experience, work as multi-disciplinary teams. They undertake carefully structured assignments that help community healthcare providers respond to changing circumstances, rising costs and organizational needs. They are results-oriented and sensitive to managerial pressures.

Let us tell you how HCG consultants can support your organization with the business and management expertise necessary to meet your short- and long-term objectives. For further information, contact us.
