PWW Advisory Group

What PWW Advisory Group does

PWW Advisory Group (PWW|AG) is a privately held professional services and consulting firm headquartered in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, that serves Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and mobile healthcare organizations across the United States. The firm was co-founded by Steve Wirth and Doug Wolfberg approximately 25 years ago and operates with a team of 18 employees.

The company offers a comprehensive suite of seven core consulting service lines: EMS System Assessment/Sustainability/Redesign, Human Capital Management and HR/Workplace Consulting, Revenue Cycle Management Assessment and Compliance, Mobile Integrated Healthcare/Community Paramedicine program implementation, Education/Training/Seminars, Privacy and Security Assessments, and Alternative Delivery Models. The firm is not a technology company; it delivers all services through expert human advisory engagements rather than proprietary software platforms. Its competitive differentiation rests on deep regulatory expertise — particularly in HIPAA and CMS compliance, where the team claims to have authored the foundational reference on EMS privacy and security — and on 25 years of accumulated industry credibility.

PWW|AG generates revenue across four streams: advisory consulting engagements, education and training programs, industry conferences (the abc360 series held in Hershey, Las Vegas, Clearwater Beach, and via livestream, plus the PWW Executive Innovation XI executive event), and certification licensing through its partnership with the National Academy of Ambulance Compliance (NAAC). The firm operates a sales-led go-to-market model, reaching customers through direct outreach, industry events, referral networks, and a multi-channel content marketing presence including LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, email newsletters, and a regulatory-focused blog. The company is bootstrapped and founder-owned with no disclosed external investment, and has no public ticker or institutional backers.
