NASHVILLE, Tenn. (September 12, 2016) – Cumberland Consulting Group, a leading healthcare advisory, implementation and outsourcing services firm, announced today it has formed a strategic alliance with the Healthcare Executive Group (HCEG), a national network of select healthcare executives and thought leaders . Through this partnership, Cumberland will participate in ongoing discussions to promote transformation and innovation in the healthcare industry. In addition, Cumberland will sponsor the 2016 HCEG Annual Forum, Sept. 12-14 in New York.

“We’re very excited about Cumberland Consulting Group becoming one of HCEG’s trusted sponsor partners,” said Ferris Taylor, HCEG Office of the Chair and COO of Arches Health Plan. “As healthcare continues to rapidly evolve and as our members accelerate their company’s digital business transformation, HCEG’s and Cumberland’s unique member-sponsor partnership relationship supports the sharing of the latest advances in technologies, best practices and the most compelling success stories in digital business today. Moreover, Cumberland’s thought leadership, healthcare expertise and willingness to intimately collaborate with HCEG members is highly valued; not only during our Annual Forum but throughout the coming year.”

“With the ongoing changes facing healthcare payers and providers in today’s regulatory environment, it is critical for these organizations to work together to exchange ideas and influence change,” said Peter Biagioni, Managing Partner of Cumberland’s Payer Division. “By joining this yearlong alliance with HCEG, we’re able to take part in collaborative initiatives aimed at improving healthcare, as well as participate in the important HCEG Annual Forum.”

More than 60 healthcare organizations will be represented at the 2016 HCEG Annual Forum. The three-day event provides networking and educational opportunities for attendees, including receptions, presentations and panel discussions. This year’s conference agenda focuses on the HCEG Integrated Strategy, which was determined by the 2016 Top 10 issues in healthcare as voted by HCEG members last year.
