About Haffty Consulting

Haffty Consulting is a premier healthcare consulting firm that works exclusively with hospitals across the country that leverage MEDITECH as their EHR platform. With decades of deep technical experience and a reputation for high-touch, relationship-driven service, Haffty has become a trusted partner to hospital executives looking for expert guidance through complex EHR transitions, optimization efforts, and long-term operational support.

Unlike large, commoditized consulting firms, Haffty sets itself apart through a human-centered mission. Every engagement is grounded in care, empathy, and an executive-level commitment to doing what's right for the client. Their team doesn’t just implement solutions, they build lasting partnerships that improve patient care and operational efficiency in some of the most critical healthcare settings in the country.

The Challenge

A Website That Undersold a Premium Service

Haffty Consulting is known for its deep MEDITECH expertise, high-touch service, and trusted relationships with hospitals across the country. However, as Haffty Consulting was growing a fast pace, their website was static and did not properly reflect their strengths and value to the market. It was simple, dated, and lacked the confidence and clarity that matched their work.

The issue went beyond design. Their digital presence failed to communicate their value or speak directly to the needs of the MEDITECH hospital market. For a firm that solves complex problems with care and precision, their website didn’t do them justice.

“As Haffty Consulting grew, we quickly developed a strong reputation in the MEDITECH space.  While our website served us effectively during our launch and the first few years of business, it didn’t keep up.   As we grew, we wanted it to properly reflect our growing stature in the marketplace along with the quality of our work, our people, and the value we provide to our Clients.  Working with UPWARD to achieve this has been a pleasure and we are thrilled with the results”
— David LaFontaine, Partner | Sales and Client Partnerships, Haffty Consulting

They needed more than just a better-looking site, they needed a true partner to help them clarify their message, tell their story, and design a digital experience that finally aligned with the standard they set for their clients.

Why Haffty Consulting Chose UPWARD

Trust, Relationship, and Reputation

Haffty Consulting chose to work with Cody Strate and UPWARD because of a longstanding relationship built on trust and mutual respect. They weren’t just hiring a website designer, they were partnering with someone who deeply understood the healthcare landscape, the MEDITECH ecosystem, and how to position a niche consulting firm with precision.

Haffty Consulting needed more than a facelift. They wanted to tell their story clearly, elevate their brand presence, and position themselves for continued growth in a competitive space. UPWARD was the partner they trusted to make that happen.
