WEYMOUTH, MA – May 16, 2008 – Healthcare management consulting firm Beacon Partners, Inc., today announced their Associate Advantage Membership to the American Hospital Association (AHA).
“There’s no doubt many of the healthcare organizations we’ve worked with over the years have been AHA members, but this membership formally aligns Beacon Partners with all AHA members and provides us better access and visibility,” says Ralph P. Fargnoli, Jr., president and CEO of Beacon Partners.
“Our AHA membership will also provide us with important industry information and will allow us to keep up-to-date on the key issues in play among America’s hospitals, including healthcare legislation and AHA’s advocacy efforts.”
Beacon Partners recently expanded their Organizational Performance Improvement Services (OPIS) in response to the increasing pressures on healthcare organizations to remain competitive while reducing overall costs and meeting regulatory obligations.
“We know the challenges healthcare organizations, many of whom are AHA members, are facing,” continues Fargnoli. “These organizations need more help with broad-reaching strategy and planning, and our OPIS offering is backed by key individuals who specialize in healthcare strategy. We look forward to providing these services to those healthcare organizations that need assistance in this area.”
