Public health consulting and tech services for government health programs
Altarum is a nonprofit delivering consulting, implementation, and analytics services to federal, state, and local health agencies—with a heavy finance and operations hiring focus that reflects internal scaling challenges. The tech stack (Salesforce, Power BI, Tableau, dbt, Azure Government, AWS GovCloud) combined with active projects in proposal pricing, financial modeling, and delivery automation signals a company working through margin and operational efficiency problems as it scales public-sector engagements.
Altarum, founded in 1946 as a public-sector innovation organization, operates as a nonprofit improving health outcomes for underserved populations through government contracting. The company works with federal, state, and local agencies to plan and execute public health and health care delivery programs, offering technical assistance, program implementation, quality improvement, applied research, data modernization, and health IT services across four divisions: Population Health, Public Health Systems, Palladian Partners, and Altarum Medicare Medicaid Services for States. Headquartered in Novi, Michigan, with 201–500 employees, Altarum combines public health expertise with analytics and technology implementation to support critical initiatives in Medicare, Medicaid, behavioral health, maternal health, and veterans health.
Altarum uses Salesforce, Power BI, Tableau, Deltek Costpoint, dbt, UKG, and cloud platforms including AWS, Azure Government, and GCP. For analytics and ML, they employ SHAP, LIME, and MLflow; infrastructure is managed via Terraform, CloudFormation, and Bicep.
Active initiatives include end-to-end proposal pricing, audit-ready financial modeling, AI-driven forecasting, state workforce management tools, Medicaid integration advisory work, and public health interoperability implementations.
