Colombo, DNP, MHA, RN, executive vice chancellor for ForHealth Consulting. “Our new name, ForHealth Consulting, clearly articulates our mission, our relationship with UMass Chan, and how we support our clients and the people they serve by improving the health care experience— from payment and financing to clinical practice and information management.”
ForHealth Consulting employs more than 1,100 people who provide services in Massachusetts and more than 25 states across the country, overseeing approximately 400 contracts with organizations that include state Medicaid agencies and other health and human service partners.
