HMA

Health Management Associates Inc

A healthcare research and consulting firm that helps governments, health plans, and hospitals untangle publicly funded programs like Medicaid and Medicare. It was founded in 1985 in Lansing, Michigan, by Jay Rosen and three co-founders, who famously sketched out their plans over burgers at a Big Boy diner in East Lansing. Today its analysts and advisers shape policy and improve how public health services are delivered across the country.
