CedarBridge Group

What CedarBridge Group does

CedarBridge Group LLC is a Portland, Oregon-based, woman-owned healthcare consulting firm founded in 2013 that supports complex healthcare transformation initiatives for government agencies, delivery systems, provider organizations, health information exchanges (HIEs), national and state associations, self-insured businesses, and technology vendors. The firm holds SBA-8(a) woman-owned designation and operates with a small core team (11-50 employees) led by founder and CEO Carol Robinson, augmented by an established national network of healthcare, health IT, and policy leaders.

Its service portfolio spans strategic planning, policy development, health IT implementation, and project management across multiple interoperability domains, including Health Information Exchange (HIE), All-Payer Claims Databases (APCD), Immunization Information Systems (IIS), Community Information Exchanges (CIE), Master Data Management (MDM), and care coordination platforms. Engagements are delivered as bespoke, high-touch professional services engagements, with notable multi-year work for the State of Connecticut (since 2016, culminating in a Statewide Health IT Plan submitted in February 2022) and prior enterprise work for Intel's Connected Care employee health benefit plans (2014-2018).

The firm monetizes primarily through professional services fees tied to project scope, with direct sales to enterprise and government buyers and a referral pipeline driven by its national network. Its sole productized software offering is ShareApprove, a responsive web application co-developed with Midato Health that captures digital consent and health/social risk assessment data via SMS-driven workflows for healthcare and social service coordination. CedarBridge has served clients in 32 US states, operates with no disclosed outside funding or parent company, and distributes via direct enterprise engagement supplemented by organic social presence on LinkedIn and Twitter.
