Strategic Partnership Program
Program Description
Hess III Consulting partners with professional associations, advocacy organizations, and mission-aligned networks working to expand access to care and strengthen health and human services systems. Our Strategic Partnership Program is built on mutual benefit — extending consulting resources to your members while amplifying the work you're already doing.
We serve payers, providers, vendors, and investors across all 50 states. Our partners gain direct access to that network, those capabilities, and the credibility of a firm that has helped clients secure more than $40 billion in new revenue.
Who This is For
This program is designed for professional associations, coalitions, trade organizations, and networks serving health and human services organizations — particularly those operating in public health, physical health, long-term services and supports, developmental disabilities, behavioral health, substance use treatment, Medicaid managed care, child welfare, or community-based care settings.
If your members need help with strategy, business development, operations, quality improvement, or Medicaid procurement — this program connects them to that support, and more, at a discount.
