Hummingbird Advisory and Coeus Consulting announce a strategic alliance to help Phoenix healthcare providers implement AI solutions safely and responsibly.
PHOENIX, AZ, UNITED STATES, May 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Hummingbird Advisory Partners, a healthcare technology advisory firm, and Coeus Consulting, a Phoenix-based managed IT and cybersecurity provider, today announced a strategic alliance to help healthcare organizations across the Southwest adopt artificial intelligence responsibly.
“This partnership establishes a new gold standard for small-to-medium healthcare clinics, providers, and medical device firms,” said John Gormally, Marketing Coordinator for Coeus Consulting. “By integrating expert-managed IT services, we are empowering our clients to scale their AI healthcare capabilities while ensuring robust resilience against cyberattacks.”
The alliance pairs Hummingbird’s healthcare strategy, operating model, and AI-readiness work with Coeus’s managed IT, cybersecurity, cloud, and compliance services. The combined offering is built for clinics, specialty practices, dental groups, hospice providers, and regional healthcare organizations evaluating AI adoption, but without the internal CIO or CISO bandwidth to lead both the strategy and the technical foundation work simultaneously.
“Most healthcare leaders we talk to aren’t asking whether to adopt AI. They’re asking what they need to fix first,” said Curt Schatz, founder of Hummingbird Advisory Partners. “Pilots running on top of a fragmented infrastructure tend to fail quietly or expose the organization to risks nobody priced into the project. This partnership exists to help providers do foundational work before the headlines.”
A combined engagement model
The two firms work together on engagements that require solving both halves of the problem at once. Hummingbird leads on healthcare technology strategy, AI-readiness assessments, modernization roadmaps, and execution support. Coeus leads the managed IT, cybersecurity, cloud, and compliance foundation on which AI adoption depends. Engagements are jointly scoped from the beginning, and accountability is shared. Neither firm could deliver this kind of work on its own.
“AI adoption in healthcare gets sold as a software decision,” Schatz said. “It’s actually an operating, security, and infrastructure decision happening at the same time. That’s the governance in mind. Most lack the internal CIO or CISO bandwidth to lead both the strategy and the operational rebuild at once and want a single accountable partnership rather than two disconnected vendors.
For organizations that don’t fit that profile, the firms intend to be straightforward about it. “We’d rather tell someone they don’t need this engagement than scope one that doesn’t fit,” Schatz said.
