What Cambridge Consulting Group does

Cambridge Consulting Group (CCG) is a Washington, D.C.-headquartered professional services firm founded in April 2020 that operates as a coalition of independent senior advisors specializing in emergency medical services, paramedicine, ambulance operations, medical transportation, and (more recently) law enforcement advisory. The firm's roster includes former NHTSA Office of EMS leadership, tenured EMS system executives (MONOC, Allina Health), emergency medicine physicians, attorneys, and university educators, collectively representing decades of operational, regulatory, financial, and clinical experience across public, private, hospital-based, fire-based, and non-profit EMS delivery models.

CCG delivers advisory services through tiered commercial models: a free 30-minute initial consultation, an 'Advisor On-Demand' offering at $250 for the first hour with per-minute billing thereafter, an 'Advisor On-Call' subscription providing two hours of monthly access, and custom-priced comprehensive project work such as policy drafting and system evaluation. Engagements span local, state, federal, and international jurisdictions, with delivery supported virtually to enable global reach.

The firm generates thought leadership through published research on EMS fatigue, lights-and-sirens use, response times, ambulance cameras, and succession planning, as well as contributions to NEMSAC advisories. A November 2023 strategic partnership with Solutions Group extends the firm's value proposition into revenue cycle management for EMS agencies, signaling a deliberate broadening of its operational-plus-financial advisory scope.

Emerging players

• Prodigy EMS: Prodigy EMS provides EMS education, training, and consulting, with overlap on community paramedicine and MIH program design — the same niche where CCG advisor Hilary Gates leads educational strategy.
• Lexipol: Lexipol provides policy, training, and advisory content for police, fire, EMS, and corrections agencies. It overlaps with CCG's law enforcement and EMS policy/professional development segments, and counts a former CCG advisor (Greg Friese) among its editorial leadership.

It serves overlapping EMS customers and increasingly offers advisory insights derived from its data, positioning it as an emerging consulting-adjacent player.

Direct peers

• Page, Wolfberg & Wirth (PWW): PWW is a national law and consulting firm dedicated to the EMS industry, providing legal, reimbursement, compliance, and operational consulting — the most direct comparable in combining EMS subject-matter expertise with advisory services.
• Fitch & Associates: Fitch & Associates is the most established EMS-focused management consulting firm in the U.S., providing operational, leadership, and system design services to ambulance services, fire-based EMS, and air medical providers — directly competing with CCG for the same client base and engagements.

Broad incumbents
