AHIMA employed Avenue M to provide an assessment of our entire membership function to ensure we had alignment with the rapidly changing needs of the healthcare industry and position us for growth.

The final report they delivered exceeded all of our expectations as they provided insights into issues we didn’t fully understand along with a clear plan to implement strategies, tactics and outcome measures for future success.
