"Our organization, like most New York hospitals has been challenged financially. We wanted an objective assessment of our organizational capacities at a high level and a review of what we might do to improve our position in the market. We were referred to American Healthcare Solutions and retained them to deploy their Organizational Assessment Program. Our expectations were exceeded. They gave us a much clearer understanding of the health status of our communities of interest, opportunities for financial improvement and organizational changes that will serve us well for years to come. We feel we have a long term partnership with American Healthcare Solutions to help us in a wide variety of challenges that may emerge from time to time. They have been respectful of our board members, medical staff and each member of our management team. They have our unqualified recommendation to any organization not quite sure of their current strategic operational status."
