The Day Health Strategies team was extremely helpful in supporting our efforts on a key strategic initiative. They provided expert assistance with developing our stakeholder engagement strategy and supplied input for numerous other areas, from content to proposal structure. Their assistance was really valuable and helped lead to a successful outcome. Maria Fernanda Levis, CEO, Impactivo  

"Rosemarie Day spoke to our cross sector summit of healthcare CEOs running insurance companies, provider organizations, pharmaceutical, device and other service companies about the implications of national healthcare reform, with a particular focus on how her own lessons learned from running the MA Health Connector would provide insight for those contemplating their role in the health care exchanges.  Her session was highly rated, with one CEO saying she was 'the best speaker yet', partially because of her deep experience, strategic insight, understanding of a political operating environment, and her lack of defensiveness when pressed about issues such as general healthcare expenditure cost control." Brenda Curiel, Managing Director, Center for Corporate Innovation (CCI)

"Rosemarie's analysis and insight have been vital to AmeriHealth Mercy's Health Insurance exchange strategy.  She and her experienced, knowledgeable team have helped us prepare for the exchange marketplace by relying both on Rosemarie's prior experience in Massachusetts as well as a deep and thorough understanding of health reform and federal exchange policy.  I would strongly recommend Rosemarie and Day Health Strategies to individuals and businesses that require high caliber exchange expertise." Drew Berenato, Director of Government and Corporate Relations, AmeriHealth Mercy

The Day Health Strategies team helped Wellforce successfully launch one of the largest Medicaid accountable care organizations in Massachusetts. From developing a strong governance structure to weaving together a diverse group of provider organizations, the Day Health team provided invaluable assistance.  With so many unknowns initially, we needed a team that could be versatile, knowledgeable and nimble in order to effectively design and implement our ACO.  The firm’s staff has a broad and deep understanding of the healthcare system, combined with strategic planning and project management expertise. This powerful combination enabled us to respond to daunting timelines with organization and optimism, ultimately resulting in our ACO receiving high praise from the state.  It is hard to imagine how our collective staff would have managed without the Day Health team’s support.  Deborah Joelson, Executive Vice President of Strategy, Wellforce and Senior Vice President, Strategic Services, Tufts Medical Center
