When Melissa Stratman first encountered Coleman Associates, she didn't expect it would change the trajectory of her career. She was working in a community health center at the time and assumed the consulting group had been brought in to deliver superficial advice. Instead, she found practical tools, frontline expertise, and a philosophy that resonated with her own belief: real healthcare transformation starts on the ground and is always focused on the end-user.
Today, as owner and CEO of Coleman Associates, she leads the organization into its fourth decade of helping clinics improve care through systems thinking, data, and hands-on coaching.
