Tailored Advisory for Boards, CEOs, and Executive Leaders

Elevation Health Partners (EHP) provides specialized executive advisory services for mission-driven organizations, including Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), and nonprofits, navigating leadership transitions or complex organizational challenges.

Led by Dr. Emily Ptaszek—former FQHC CEO and licensed psychologist—EHP’s Advisory Practice delivers high-impact advisory support that fosters meaningful growth, resilient teams, and strong, enduring leadership.

Our process begins with a tailored assessment of goals, strengths, and challenges, with a future- focused, solutions-oriented approach. We place special emphasis on the Board–CEO relationship as a cornerstone of organizational health and sustainability, while aligning our work to outcomes that matter most to you. We partner with CEO’s, Boards of Directors, and executive leadership to prioritize long term organizational success and sustainable leadership capacity.
