Our Core Beliefs
Multispective Health Research and Consulting, LLC was founded by two professionals with more than 28 years of combined experience in health-related industries. Having started out as health care professionals, we built a reputation for delivering high quality, compassionate care to patients. After several years of working on the front-lines of health care, we both found a passion for service in public and community health. After deciding to pivot in our career paths, we both sought graduate training in the fields of population health and health policy and management. Together, we bring years of clinical and population health expertise, as well as experience in higher education in health care sectors.
​
Our team founded this company based on our mutually shared core beliefs:
Health is a fundamental human right.
People have a right to timely and equitable access to high-quality health and social services.
Improving individual and population health is only possible when individuals are empowered and by enhancing the relationship between patients, providers, and the health and social system.
Society benefits from policies that directly strengthen the health and social system infrastructures.
People, and the obstacles they face, are unique and thus require a multi-perspective (multi-spective), creative approach to problem-solving that is grounded in scientific rigor and objectivity.

We guarantee to approach every project with the highest standards of ethics, integrity, authenticity, honesty and transparency.
