Our Expertise

Achieving superior results for community institutions.

We measure our success by how we advance our clients’ objectives. On projects where we represent smaller institutions joining larger organizations, our outcomes exceed industry benchmarks by 50% on average. We realize outsized non-financial gains for our clients, including important qualitative commitments to access for the underserved, service expansion, employment, quality and more. Our case studies speak to how Juniper’s experienced team drives value for our clients.

Who We Work With

Juniper was founded to help the hospital industry improve quality and increase access, but over the years our client list has grown to include a full range of mission driven nonprofits including institutions of higher education, non-acute service providers and others.

Demand for our services is high and we are selective in the engagements we take on.  We seek clients where our experience can have an outsized impact on achieving their objectives. Size is not the determining factor, and we work with a full range of organizations from multi-billion dollar national entities to small local nonprofits, providing them all with the same focused expertise free from conflict or distraction.
