Ariel started Waterwheel Health Consulting to offer health systems customized, relational, and evidence-informed support for the journey towards effective, human-centered healthcare.
The beating heart of human-centered healthcare is empathy.
Empathy means listening with nonjudgmental curiosity and respect. Waterwheel Health Consulting brings deep skills in listening, synthesis, and facilitation at both micro and macro levels.
On the micro level, we’re passionate about transforming the intimate change conversations that happen between patients and helping professionals, using evidence-based methods to develop trust and partnership.
In the macro, we guide collaborative efforts to develop innovative strategies linking payment, policy, and practice change to drive system-level improvements.
