O’Connell and Aronowitz has announced the expansion of its Healthcare Consulting Group with four new Consultants to support program growth and an increased client portfolio.
A supplement of the firm’s Health Law practice, the O&A Healthcare Consulting Group was launched in 2013 to address the non-legal needs of the firm’s varied healthcare clients. With the addition of new consultants joining Director Carla Williams, the program will focus its professional services offerings to include regulatory, financial and clinical matters.
Nancy Sciocchetti, Senior Partner at O’Connell and Aronowitz and Managing Partner of the firm’s Health Law Department, remarked, “As our healthcare consulting projects continue to grow, the addition of such experienced professionals is critical to support our clients’ needs beyond legal work. The Healthcare Consulting Group provides services our clients previously had to obtain from multiple consulting firms.”
Working both independently and in collaboration with O’Connell and Aronowitz Health Law attorneys, the Healthcare Consulting Group team focuses on providing solutions that drive significant financial and operational improvement while delivering positive, sustainable results.
