Our Story
Foote Forward Health Strategies helps rural healthcare organizations build sustainable telehealth models that actually work. We bridge the gap between complex policy and real-world clinical operations.
What We Do
FFHS helps healthcare organizations design, launch, and strengthen telehealth and connected care programs that are practical, compliant, and financially sound.
Carrie and her team work across every stage of program development — from early strategy and service line design to reimbursement planning, compliance readiness, technology alignment, and workforce adoption — with one guiding principle: build programs your team can actually run and sustain.
Our roots run deep in rural health, where governance, funding, and regulations demand a different kind of rigor. That experience informs how we approach every project, no matter the setting.
We offer both full-scope project partnerships and targeted advisory support. Whether you’re building something new, refining what you already have, or adjusting to new regulatory expectations, FFHS brings clarity, structure, and forward momentum to the work.
About Carrie
FFHS was founded by Carrie Foote, a healthcare strategist with more than twenty years of experience in operations and regulatory strategy. She started the firm with a simple belief: good telehealth strategy has to be built on the realities of care delivery, not the theory. That perspective shapes every partnership we take on.
Telehealth strategy that works in the real world — not just on paper.
Most telehealth programs don’t fail because the ideas are bad. They fail because the strategy doesn’t reflect how care actually happens — the reimbursement hurdles, the compliance details, the workflow pressures, and the people who make it all run.
That’s the gap Foote Forward Health Strategies was created to close.
Let's Talk
If your organization is preparing for growth or navigating new operational, reimbursement, or compliance challenges, let’s talk. Our first conversation is simply about understanding your situation — no sales pitch, just an honest discussion about where you are and whether we’re the right fit.
