Cornerstone helps clients strengthen military health, readiness and resilience by navigating the intersection of defense, healthcare, research and innovation.
Drawing on deep experience across the Military Health System, Department of Defense, Veterans Affairs and Department of Health and Human Services, we help clients advance priorities related to medical research, healthcare modernization, force health protection and military readiness, ensuring service members have access to the care, technologies and capabilities needed to remain healthy, ready and mission capable. We maintain strong relationships throughout the defense health ecosystem, including the Defense Health Agency, military medical commands, research organizations and key congressional committees.
A key differentiator of our practice is our leadership of RESPOND-US, a first-of-its-kind national coalition focused on strengthening military and civilian healthcare systems and advancing a whole-of-nation approach to medical readiness. Through this work, Cornerstone convenes research universities, academic medical centers, healthcare providers and industry partners with congressional and agency policymakers to advance healthcare innovation, preparedness and national security priorities.
