Freed & Associates (F&A) is a boutique health care consulting firm specializing in high risk, high stakes consulting projects for healthcare organizations based in California. For 20 years our clients have looked to us to ensure that their initiatives are completed successfully and without drama. We’re continually expanding our team to meet consistent demand for our services.

Our team consists of top-notch consultants and industry professionals who know acute care, ambulatory care, health plan, biotech and pharma operations. We focus on project and portfolio management services, interim management assignments and business/management and strategy consulting. If you are frustrated by your current work, heavy travel schedules or lack of work/lifestyle balance you should talk to us.

Our firm was founded on a few, simple ideas:

1) If we take good care of you, you will take good care of our clients.
2) You want to be paid well and you want to have challenging work, high caliber colleagues that push you to be better, and the ability to build a career around your lifestyle.

We are proud of our long-standing commitment to these ideas; they are at the heart of how we treat our people. For example, we pay 100% of the cost of medical, dental, vision, long-term disability and life insurance and our work schedules are flexible.

Type of Work

We provide a wide array of services to our clients, so versatility and flexibility are attributes we seek and value highly.

Here’s a sample of the kind of work you’d be doing for our clients:

• Lead clients through strategy development to ensure a shared vision and roadmap for implementing new and improved business and IT capabilities.
• Provide interim management, executive leadership and advisory services to clients in key functional areas and on their most strategic initiatives.
