Dr. CarTyea Mathies

DHA, MPH · Founder & CEO, CMCG Leadership & Community Solutions

Dr. CarTyea Mathies is the Founder & CEO of CMCG Leadership & Community Solutions, and a trusted strategic partner in public health and healthcare strategy. With more than two decades of executive leadership across local, state, and federal systems, she brings the perspective of someone who has led the work herself — not just advised on it from the outside.

Her experience spans statewide program direction, operating budgets as large as $76 million, healthcare quality improvement and regulatory compliance, curriculum development, webinars and stakeholder engagement, legislative and policy relationship-building, fundraising and grant strategy, executive search and workforce strategy, and equity-focused, data-driven research. She founded CMCG to bring that same caliber of thinking to organizations navigating similar challenges today. Her practice spans strategic planning, health equity, program evaluation, compliance, capacity building, curriculum development, program and grant management, leadership coaching, event and retreat planning, and healthcare and public health workforce solutions — always built to a doctoral-level, implementation-ready standard.

Success Stories
Article

The real funding problem isn't finding money — it's keeping it

Winning a grant used to be the hard part. In 2026, the bigger risk is being unable to deliver on what you won.

Article

Why strategic plans fail after year one (and how to build one that doesn't)

Most plans don't fail because the strategy was wrong — they fail because they were built for a room that won't stay the same.

Success story

Building an office-based treatment program from the ground up

How CMCG's launch methodology took a behavioral health treatment program from concept to opening day, built to be reused for the next service line.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about engagements, process, and getting started.

Working With CMCG

What organizations does CMCG typically work with?

CMCG partners with government agencies, nonprofits, FQHCs, healthcare systems, educational institutions, and community organizations of every kind — including nontraditional community spaces like barbershops and community clubs — across multiple states. If trust already exists somewhere in a community, that's a place CMCG can work.

What does a typical engagement look like?

Every engagement starts with a discovery conversation to understand your goals and constraints, followed by a scoped proposal. From there, CMCG works in structured phases with clear deliverables and check-ins, rather than an open-ended retainer.

Do you work with organizations outside Michigan?

Yes. CMCG has an active multi-state client footprint and regularly supports engagements outside Michigan, both virtually and on-site.

Who actually does the work on our engagement?

Dr. Mathies leads and stays personally involved in every engagement from start to finish. For specialized components — clinical review, technical subject matter, or added capacity on larger engagements — she brings in vetted subject matter experts as needed.

Services & Scope

Can CMCG help with a specific RFP or grant requirement?

Yes — CMCG regularly supports organizations responding to RFPs and grant requirements, including strategic planning facilitation, evaluation frameworks, and compliance readiness documentation.

Does CMCG provide direct services, or strategic advisory only?

Both. CMCG's core work is strategic advisory — plans, systems, and evaluation frameworks your team implements — alongside hands-on services like program and grant management, leadership coaching, and curriculum development that CMCG delivers directly.

Can we purchase or license a curriculum CMCG has already developed?

Yes. CMCG develops citation-verified curriculum as a standalone product, available for purchase or licensing, with facilitator guides and participant toolkits included.

Does CMCG handle executive search and recruitment?

Yes. CMCG's Healthcare & Public Health Workforce Solutions service covers executive search, leadership recruitment, interim placement, and workforce strategy — built around the same public health and healthcare expertise behind every other CMCG engagement, not general staffing.

Getting Started

How do we start a conversation with CMCG?

Reach out through the contact section below or schedule a consultation directly. We typically respond within two business days to schedule an initial discovery call.

How is CMCG's pricing structured?

Pricing is scoped per engagement based on complexity, timeline, and deliverables — there is no one-size-fits-all rate card. You'll receive a clear, itemized proposal before any work begins.
