This article highlights how we provided pro-bono healthcare consulting services for a non-profit healthcare provider.
Centric Miami was featured in the September issue of South Florida Hospital News and Healthcare Report for our partnership with Camillus Health Concern, a private, non-profit organization that provides comprehensive medical, dental, and behavioral health care, as well as health education and specialty care to men, women and children who are poor and homeless in Miami-Dade County.
In the front-page article, Camillus Health Concern, Inc. Partners with Centric Consulting, LLC to Help Lead Them Into the Future, the author highlights how Camillus turned to Centric Consulting for help in creating a strategic plan to address some of its greatest challenges: “the recruitment and the retention of healthcare professionals to serve the indigent population” and funding given that “nearly 45 percent of its funding source comes from the federal government. The remaining amount comes from the state and other sources.”
The article explains how our team reviewed and addressed Camillus’ current and future plan, on a pro bono basis, to help position them for success.
An excerpt:
“We wanted to work with Centric because they have the industry knowledge of how to strategically move organizations forward with new, creative and innovative ideas,” says Afram-Gyening. “They helped us come up with a strategic plan for the future of Camillus – where the population is moving to, who our recruitment competitors are, and who are taking some of the patients we serve. Because of their expertise and knowledge, they were able to deliver a superb report.”
Afram-Gyening says that they will work with Centric on other aspects of their operations to take the organization to another level.
“Looking ahead, I would like to see Camillus as the go-to entity for people who have no insurance or fallen on hard times to receive high quality of care,” he adds.
According to Kim Caruthers, a partner with Centric Miami, the goal of this initiative was to partner with Camillus to identify and address some of its most pressing concerns and help position them for success in delivering care to those most in need in the community.
“We love working in healthcare,” she says. “There are many opportunities in healthcare to make lives better for both patients and providers through technology and process innovation.”
