More Than a Vendor: The Partner You Can Count On When the Rules Keep Changing

In an Era of Uncertainty, Trust Matters More Than Ever

Across the country, health administrators are facing a perfect storm:

• Federal audits and funding restrictions

• New leadership at HHS

• Rapidly shifting grant priorities

• Political pressure to avoid “controversial” terms like equity or disparity

You’re not just tasked with compliance. You’re expected to do it fast, without error, with limited resources, and still produce something meaningful for your community.

That’s why now—more than ever—your choice of partner matters.

The Problem with Traditional Public Health Vendors

Too many health departments are being:

• Sold incomplete services that require add-on fees to finish the work

• Given templated reports that fail to meet MAPP 2.0, PHAB, or state requirements

• Left to interpret and present data alone—with no support for stakeholder engagement

• Rushed through deliverables without time for reflection, learning, or planning

The result? Stress. Missed deadlines. Projects that don’t move the needle.

At Ascendant Healthcare Partners, we do things differently.

What Makes Ascendant Healthcare Partners Different

When you work with us, you receive:

Full-scope agreements – No hidden fees. Everything from agenda-setting to final design is included. 

PHAB-aligned deliverables – Every CHNA, CHIP, and strategic plan meets national standards—even if you’re not pursuing accreditation. 

True partnership – We guide you through stakeholder facilitation, write-ups, and even board presentations. 

Clarity in communication – All public-facing content is written using our StoryBrand method so your reports are useful—not just compliant.

We don’t just hand over a document—we empower your leadership to stand out.

Real Results Across the Country

We’ve worked with over 50 counties nationwide. And here’s what’s happened:

• Counties have regained compliance without burdening their internal team

• Administrators have received praise from state and national leaders for “clear, usable, impressive” reports

• Departments have turned their CHNA and CHIP into grant-winning, community-engaging tools

This isn’t luck—it’s the power of full-service public health consulting done right.

You Deserve More Than a Vendor

The stakes are too high for outdated consulting models. You deserve:

• Strategic alignment with your goals, deadlines, and leadership challenges

• A single partner who sees the full picture and makes your job easier—not harder

• A public health ally that elevates your voice and protects your reputation

At Ascendant Healthcare Partners, we lead with integrity, deliver with excellence, and walk every step with you.
