Brian Fuller joined PYA in January as a Healthcare Consulting Principal.  Bringing over two decades of provider strategic advisory experience to PYA and its clients, Fuller has led health systems and provider organizations through multi-faceted projects, including health system/network enterprise growth, strategic options evaluation and mergers-and-acquisitions advisory services, clinical service line strategy, and the development of consumer and ambulatory networks.  Additionally, Fuller brings to PYA deep industry knowledge in pre- and post-merger integration, strategic and financial due diligence, and physician enterprise optimization.  As an industry thought leader, Fuller has presented on a variety of topics, including implications of industry transformation; strategic planning; structural evolution of the U.S. health system; and best practices for identifying, evaluating, and executing strategic partnerships for national organizations such as the American Hospital Association, The Governance Institute, and the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA).
