Martha Knutson

I have focused my professional practice on helping organizations and individual healthcare providers get and stay in compliance with the many local, state, and federal requirements imposed on their practices and operations. Even before there was much official "Guidance" in this area, I was working every day to proactively identify responsibilities, ensure that they are being met and, if necessary, prove that to the government.

My goal is to free my clients for their real work - helping people.
