The Don Strong Community Partner Award is presented to organizations that demonstrate exceptional dedication to advancing public health initiatives and promoting the well-being of communities worldwide.

"We are honored to highlight Guidehouse's exceptional contributions and recognize the firm's role in shaping the next generation of public health professionals," said Lynn R. Goldman, MD, PhD, Michael and Lori Milken Dean of the Milken Institute SPH at George Washington University. "Guidehouse's unwavering dedication to providing students with hands-on experience and pathways to meaningful employment has significantly impacted our community. Their support is instrumental in our efforts to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to become leaders in the field and make meaningful contributions to improving population health."

Ranked the nation's third largest healthcare consultancy, Guidehouse's Health segment works across the healthcare ecosystem, helping public sector and commercial health organizations deliver innovative services to their communities. The team's work has supported positive outcomes for a range of public health organizations, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Military Health System, National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

In its partnership with the University, Guidehouse has offered practicum placements for students from the MPH/MHA program and has hosted a practicum program for master's degree students since 2019. The firm has also hosted cohorts of doctoral degree students and developed immersive programs working alongside leaders and subject matter experts as part of their practicum requirements.
