Huron . Huron helps its clients drive growth, enhance performance and sustain leadership in the markets they serve. We help healthcare organizations build innovation capabilities and accelerate key growth initiatives, enabling organizations to own the future, instead of being disrupted by it. Together, we empower clients to create sustainable growth, optimize internal processes and deliver better consumer outcomes.
Health systems, hospitals and medical clinics are under immense pressure to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the cost of providing patient care. Investing in new partnerships, clinical services and technology is not enough to create meaningful and substantive change. To succeed long-term, healthcare organizations must empower leaders, clinicians, employees, affiliates and communities to build cultures that foster innovation to achieve the best outcomes for patients.
Joining the Huron team means you’ll help our clients evolve and adapt to the rapidly changing healthcare environment and optimize existing business operations, improve clinical outcomes, create a more consumer‑centric healthcare experience, and drive physician, patient and employee engagement across the enterprise.
Associates play an indispensable role at Huron. Our dynamic associates lead one or more project workstreams using Huron approaches, methodologies and tools to implement impactful and innovative solutions to our clients’ business challenges. They build strong relationships with client staff and leadership while simultaneously managing junior Huron staff. Everyone works in harmony to achieve a common objective: create and implement sustainable solutions. Through our varied projects, associates gain valuable, hands‑on consulting and change management experience while positively impacting mission‑driven healthcare organizations.
