Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) August 16, 2007 -- Edward M. Hindin, President and CEO of Hindin Healthcare Advisors (HHA) and Jan R. Jennings, President and CEO of American Healthcare Solutions (AHS), recently issued a joint statement announcing the alignment of their consulting practices. This strategic partnership stands to greatly enhance the Leadership Development service lines of AHS by incorporating the talents of an industry heavy-hitter such as Edward Hindin.

Edward is an experienced hospital executive, consultant, and leadership coach. He holds a Master's degree in City and Regional Planning from Rutgers University, is certified in Coaching and Organizational Learning from the Newfield Network, and is an accredited member of the International Coach Organization. His extensive industry background has resulted in a number of notable accomplishments. In addition to being the founder and leader of HHA, Hindin is the former CEO of the VHA regional alliance of hospitals and health systems. He also has been the Chief Planning Officer for a number of hospitals, a business development executive for Siemens Medical Solutions, and is a Board member of the Chicago Coach Federation. Edward's knowledge, insight, and creativity have led to the success of HHA, helping organizations and executives achieve record results.

On partnering with AHS, Hindin noted: "The complimentary programs and services of American Healthcare Solutions permit us to offer a broader range of services to help clients produce the results they need. Benchmarking, operational, and financial performance improvement services are critical to meeting today's pressing industry challenges. Jan Jennings and I share a common set of values of service to the healthcare field. Jan has assembled a team of talented and experienced consultants that deliver great value."

Through this newly forged alliance with Hindin Healthcare Advisors, AHS clients will have access to the leading resource in healthcare executive coaching, MEDI (Morgan Executive Development Institute). This professional development tool allows healthcare decision makers to expand their leadership skills, unlock their potential, and essentially take their performance to a higher level. MEDI is a proven, unique and value-added program. AHS clients will also have access to BEST YEAR YET®, a service used internationally to help organizations execute their plans.

Jan Jennings describes the coupling of AHS and HHA as a long-time goal achieved. "Edward Hindin is a nationally recognized leader in results-oriented healthcare strategy formation and execution, leadership development, and change management. Edward's agreement to lead our New York office is the result of six months of intense discussions and we are thrilled."

A very positive attitude about the joint venture is felt on both sides as the two firms focus on future projects together. Hindin believes it to be "a very exciting development that has enormous potential." Good things are sure to happen as AHS and HHA bring more power to healthcare client service.
