History

Healthcare combined with Information Technology has been a passion of the Blue Cirrus founders since early in their over 20+ year careers.  As a self-funded, woman-owned small business founded in 2010, Blue Cirrus Consulting began working within the areas of project management, interim leadership, and providing supplemental resources to hospital clients. The Healthcare IT world is forever changing and in 2012 Blue Cirrus began advising clients in the emerging market of digital health. They partnered with, developed and deployed telehealth programs for prestigious organizations such as Intermountain Healthcare and Adventist Health. From these successful implementations, Blue Cirrus grew an additional practice: Digital Health Services.  The Blue Cirrus team is partnering with healthcare organizations across the country and internationally.
