Strategic workforce and funding architecture for independent rural medicine.
We do not place physicians. We build the financial and retention system that makes the right physician choose to come—and choose to stay.
Independent primary care practices in Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) face an asymmetric challenge: hospital systems recruit with massive sign-on bonuses, while traditional physician staffing agencies charge transactional placement fees merely to post job advertisements—without addressing the underlying financial offer.
Founded in Houston, Texas by Prince Ampomah, CELSIANT Health Advisory combines the rigor of a healthcare strategy consultancy with specialized federal and state grant navigation. We verify your practice's eligibility, activate federal NHSC and state SLRP funding, structure banking and APCM revenue pathways, execute targeted physician outreach, and manage a 5-year retention system.
