As we all know, our consulting world, while rewarding, often requires significant travel and, with that, various challenges.  While most of our travel challenges are delays or annoyances, they also can, on rare occasions, have inherent risk(s). As consultants and employers, we take important steps to minimize the risks and hope we never have to deal with an extreme situation.

Navin, Haffty & Associates (NHA) is a Healthcare IT consulting firm and has been in existence since 2001. We are fortunate to have over 200 consultants living across mainland USA, serving our clients in the US, Canada and overseas. While we may or may not fall under the umbrella of what Consulting magazine (CM) calls a "Small Jewel" we consider ourselves a "hidden gem". We take pride in our team and in our commitment to provide the quality services our clients have come to expect. To accomplish this, we work hard to plan, prepare, and provide whatever our team members may need along the way. No matter how hard we try, however, there are some things we simply cannot prepare for. This is especially true for two specific members of our "family" for whom we write this tribute.

This past spring, our company experienced the unthinkable. One of our consulting teams was outside Atlanta, GA, on assignment at Upson Hospital. It was 7 AM Thursday, March 9th, 2017, the last on-site day of the week, when three members of our team were driving to the client site. Most likely our consultants were discussing what needed to happen that day, the unfinished tasks that needed attention, and when they would meet to carpool to the airport later that afternoon. Suitcases in the car, they were undoubtedly looking forward to completing their day and traveling home to see their families that evening.
