What Medilink Consulting Group does

Medilink Consulting Group is a privately held healthcare consulting firm founded by Ed Eichhorn in 2006 and domiciled in Hamilton, New Jersey. The firm delivers strategic planning, marketing, and sales advisory services to medical product and service companies across the United States, with a service portfolio spanning cost improvement, sales and marketing program design, sales compensation review, new product introduction, universal healthcare trend impact studies, team development, and executive mentoring. The firm operates as a boutique advisory with 1-10 employees and no proprietary technology platform; delivery is based on industry expertise and professional knowledge rather than software products.

The business model combines three revenue streams: (1) quote-based, multi-year professional services engagements with medical product and service clients; (2) a $15-per-year Healing American Healthcare Coalition membership that bundles a twice-monthly human-curated newsletter (Three Minute Read™) and an e-book; and (3) book sales of 'Healing American Healthcare – Lessons from the Pandemic' through Amazon and BookBaby in softcover ($24.99) and e-book ($4.99) formats. Distribution is primarily direct sales to senior management at client companies nationwide, supplemented by earned media (US News & World Report, Smerconish.com, HR.com, Law 360, Managed Health Care Executive, Garden State Focus) and content marketing via the firm's website and LinkedIn presence.

Beyond consulting, Medilink has built a public-policy advocacy layer around the co-authored Allcare Plan, which proposes a 30% reduction in U.S. annual healthcare costs and $1 trillion in annual savings, presented through a public-facing Infogram and supporting book. The founder also serves as a legislative strategist for federal lobbying needs of medical societies, extending the firm's positioning into healthcare policy work. Ownership appears entirely founder-held, with no external institutional investors or parent company disclosed.
