- A people-first consulting culture where you’re known, supported, and valued
- Thoughtful consultant-client matching to set you up for success
- Opportunities to work on impactful, strategic healthcare IT initiatives
- Transparent leadership and responsive support
- A firm that invests in long-term relationships—not transactional placements
Founded in 2017 by experienced healthcare IT leaders, we were built with a simple but powerful vision: create a people-first consulting firm that delivers exceptional results without losing sight of the individual.
Trust, transparency, grace, and responsiveness are not buzzwords at Evergreen; they’re the foundation of how we work. We believe collective success is achieved when every person understands their value, feels genuinely appreciated, and knows their work matters. That belief shapes how we support our consultants, how we partner with clients, and how we show up for one another every day.
While our roots are in Epic EHR implementations, our impact has grown to support health systems across optimization, upgrades, informatics, Connect and acquisitions, ERP, cloud initiatives, and beyond. Our strength lies in our thoughtful, personalized approach. We invest time in truly understanding both our consultants and our clients so that every partnership is aligned, authentic, and set up for success.
