Modern Healthcare has ranked Forvis Mazars eighth on its 2026 annual survey of healthcare consulting firms by revenue, marking the sixth consecutive year the firm has ranked among the top 10. The recognition comes as Forvis Mazars expands its Healthcare Consulting capabilities to help address evolving client needs.
The practice now includes more than 1,100 professionals serving more than 6,100 clients nationwide.
In the survey, management consulting firms said demand for their services continues to grow as healthcare organizations deal with financial and operational pressures while working to improve affordability, access, and quality.
“Healthcare organizations no longer have the luxury of addressing financial performance, workforce constraints, technology, regulation, and growth as independent challenges,” said Brad Brotherton, partner and Healthcare national sector leader at Forvis Mazars. “The most successful organizations will be those that connect these priorities and execute against them with discipline. Expanding our capabilities helps us work alongside clients to address these interconnected challenges.”
Expanding healthcare facility & capital planning capabilities
Earlier this year, the addition of The Innova Group enhanced the firm’s facility and capital planning strategy (FCP) capabilities, adding nearly 50 professionals with experience in facility master planning and assessment, functional and space programming, equipment programming, and design assistance.
“Hospitals and health systems are making consequential decisions about facilities and capital investments,” said Mike Cook, principal, healthcare strategy and finance. “Our FCP team helps organizations align those decisions with broader strategic priorities to support their long-term clinical, operational, and financial needs.”
Investing in healthcare insights
Forvis Mazars also continues to invest in resources to help healthcare leaders understand and navigate industry change. Its “Achieving Health” podcast, hosted by Chad Mulvany and Shawn Stack, is part of a broader healthcare thought-leadership platform that includes the Healthcare Market Point of View, Healthcare FORsights™, and webinars addressing policy developments and financial and operational strategies for organizations across the care continuum.
In early 2027, Forvis Mazars will release its fifth annual Mindsets Healthcare Industry Outlook, a report based on a national survey of more than 230 healthcare executives about their biggest challenges, priorities, and industry trends, including margin pressure and AI adoption.
