Meet the Partners
We take the approach to consulting for FQHCs from a real world perspective. Each person associated with FQHCmd has actually done it or are doing it in real life. FQHCmd was started by two partners that are currently working in the health care field; one still currently the CEO of a nationally recognized FQHC. FQHCmd takes on a limited number of consulting projects at any one time to insure that our resources are best utilized and that the contracting clinic has the best possible service. We come to you and get to know y our organization intimately. We sit down with virtually every member of your organization in some cases, to insure that we come up with the best possible solutions and are there every step of the way during implementation.
Whether it is providing all clinic, human resource or governance procedures and implementation, Section 330 Grant writing, restructuring your organization, aiding in acquisitions, gaining FQHC or FQHC look a like status, or other projects, FQHCmd has the real world expertise and experience for your organization.

“FQHCmd provided technical assistance and an operational assessment for our FQHC to prepare key management, the Board of Directors and staff for the “new start” HRSA site visit. The practical skills, years of experience and business expertise of Mike and Joe were exceptional to assist staff in educating and training in preparation for the intense site visit. An operational assessment was conducted to make sure our organization was properly aligned for success. I would strongly recommend consulting with FQHCmd due to the positive results we received from our HRSA site visit and implementing recommended changes to better our organization for the community we serve. It never hurts to have an independent consultant, such as FQHCmd, access any organization because there is always room for performance improvement and the results can exceed expectations.”
