Who We Help

FQHC Forward works with boards and executive teams when performance, compliance confidence, and financial sustainability must move in the right direction quickly and require judgment and disciplined execution to complex FQHC environments – where margins are tight, scrutiny is high, and access cannot slip.

To ensure depth, focus, and meaningful impact, David works with a limited number of organizations at a time.

Executive Leadership Teams

David works directly with senior leaders responsible for organizational performance, including:

  • Chief Executive Officers

  • Executive leadership teams

  • Chief Operating Officers

  • Chief Financial Officers

These leaders engage FQHC Forward when financial pressure, operational complexity, or growth demands require experienced judgment, clear priorities, and follow-through at the executive level.

Boards of Directors

Boards engage David when oversight responsibilities intensify and clarity matters most. This includes moments when boards need:

  • Greater confidence in financial performance and controls

  • Clear alignment with executive leadership on accountability and execution

  • Stronger understanding of HRSA expectations and governance responsibilities

  • Support during leadership transition, instability, or heightened scrutiny

The engagement strengthens governance without blurring roles, helping boards fulfill fiduciary responsibility while enabling effective executive leadership.

FQHCs at Critical Moments

Community health centers and hospitals typically engage FQHC Forward when facing inflection points such as:

  • Financial strain or margin compression

  • Expansion of sites, services, or geographic reach

  • The need to restore operating discipline and decision clarity

  • HRSA site visits, compliance review, or readiness concerns

  • Leadership transition or interim executive needs

  • Financial & Operational Assessment (FOA) with high-impact recommendations

Engagements are structured to match the moment, ranging from advisory support to interim or fractional executive leadership when direct involvement is required.

The common thread is accountability for outcomes and the need for leadership decisions to hold under pressure.

Is This the Right Fit?
