Christine J. Carafelli, Founder & CEO of Carafelli Healthcare Consulting & Management

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Three decades in the business of healthcare

Christine Carafelli is a seasoned healthcare executive with over 30 years of experience spanning health-plan operations, managed-care contracting and negotiations, and hospital operations and administration.

As CEO of Carafelli Healthcare Consulting & Management, she leverages that dual perspective to support provider groups, health plans and payers — building robust provider networks, optimizing operational workflows, and negotiating strategic partnerships.

A rare command of every side of the table

Most consultants advise from the outside. Christine has run health-plan operations, hospital administration, and negotiated managed-care contracts firsthand. That first-hand command of how plans, hospitals and provider groups actually operate is why Carafelli Healthcare engagements move the numbers.

An almost life-long resident of Las Vegas since 1975, Christine is deeply committed to Nevada — and to results-oriented consulting and management that transforms the businesses she serves.
