We partner with healthcare organizations, nonprofits, and public agencies committed to more equitable health outcomes .
Our partners are changing the food system, reimagining healthcare, and advancing health equity.
We help our partners align their strategy and measure their progress.
The sheer amount of work to be done can be overwhelming. Having an aligned strategy, and a system for ongoing learning and program improvement allows you do move the needle on the issues that matter most to your community.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
We help our partners take a step back, think long-term and big-picture, then when you’re ready we dive into the weeds alongside you and work together to design strategy, learning and evaluation that fits your organization and goals.

“Lily provided outstanding strategic support and guidance for our board and staff.
I have worked in nonprofit services for over 20 years and I can say that Lily Sussman is one of the best. Her thoughtful leadership in supporting our mission’s work was outstanding. She met us where we were and gave us tools to launch visionary thinking.”
