Our Story

Keystone’s principal did not start out as a consultant; he began his career in the ranks of healthcare provider organizations. This means Keystone understands the internal needs and pressures of healthcare organizations, and knows its clients want to be heard and understood, and to receive quality, in-depth work specifically tailored to meet their needs.

Two-thirds of Keystone’s consulting engagements are with existing clients–a key measure of the trust and confidence provider organizations place in our skills and expertise. A hands-on approach to each engagement provides a thorough and comfortable experience that clients truly appreciate. Keystone works with governing boards, executive management, department chairs, physicians, planners, and other clinical staff to help them navigate strategic, financial, organizational, and regulatory challenges.
