About

Millions of patients are missing from clinical research — not because they don't qualify, but because the systems designed to reach them never did. I founded Precision HealthCare Consultants (PHCC) to close that gap. Today, our team partners with pharmaceutical companies, medical device, CROs, health systems, and federal agencies to ensure that clinical research and healthcare innovation reach the communities that need it most — including forgotten populations, minorities, women, people with disabilities. ─────────────────────────── 🔬 WHAT WE DO FOR PHARMA & LIFE SCIENCES ─────────────────────────── ✦ Clinical trial patient outreach, recruitment & engagement ✦ Real-world evidence (RWE) research & chart reviews ✦ Health equity program design & implementation ✦ Clinical operations support & site readiness ✦ Medical reviews, medical writing & regulatory audit ✦ ICD-10 data analysis and geo disease cluster identification Our clinical teams include researchers, scientists, clinicians, analysts, and regulatory specialists. ─────────────────────────── 🌍 GLOBAL REACH ─────────────────────────── PHCC operates across the U.S. and internationally, with deep expertise engaging patient populations — across diabetes, cardiovascular disease, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS — that traditional clinical research systems consistently fail to reach. A capability most CROs cannot claim. ─────────────────────────── 🏆 RECOGNITION ─────────────────────────── 🏆 INC 5000 — America's Fastest Growing Companies (2x) 🏆 INC 500 Female Founders Award 🏆 EY Entrepreneurial Winning Women 🏆 EY Entrepreneur Access Network Alumni 🏆 Inaugural Mentor — JPMorgan Chase Foundation Ascend 2020 ─────────────────────────── 💡 HOW WE GOT HERE ─────────────────────────── My career began with physician groups — medical coding, revenue integrity, compliance, and auditing. As PHCC grew to serve hospitals, state departments of health, and federal health programs, a pattern became impossible to ignore: The patients most burdened by disease were the least represented in clinical research and healthcare programs. That insight became PHCC's mission. Today our work spans clinical research support, public health, global health capacity building, occupational health, and healthcare administration — always in service of the forgotten. ─────────────────────────── 🤝 LET'S CONNECT ─────────────────────────── If you are working in clinical research, patient engagement, health equity, real-world evidence, or global health programs — I welcome the opportunity to connect and explore collaboration.
