The journey of BME Strategies began with a foundational belief that health is a fundamental human right and that every community, regardless of its circumstances, deserves access to the highest quality public health services. This conviction spurred founder Bryan Murphy-Eustis to establish the firm in 2004. His firsthand experience working in local public health in Massachusetts revealed a critical gap: municipalities were struggling to meet new mandates and utilize resources aimed at bolstering their emergency preparedness and response capabilities. What started as a focused effort to help these local entities soon blossomed into a much broader mission. Organically, the firm's reputation grew as it successfully developed emergency plans for Cambridge, Somerville, and numerous other cities, eventually crafting the statewide plan for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.

Over the past two decades, BME Strategies has evolved from its initial focus on emergency preparedness to offering a comprehensive suite of solutions designed to fortify public health systems at the local, state, and national levels. The firm has cultivated a specialization in building public health capacity by designing strategic, innovative interventions to address emergent health challenges. The ethos of BME Strategies is deeply collaborative, fostering close partnerships with non-profit organizations, government bodies, and community groups. This collaborative spirit is paired with a rigorous, evidence-based approach, drawing upon best practices that are often rooted in the lived experiences of the communities they serve. The firm's success is not just measured by project completion, but by its adaptability and unwavering dedication to making a tangible impact, always ready to respond to the ever-changing needs of its clients. As BME Strategies looks to the future, it continues to build on its expertise in strategic planning, program management, quality improvement, and coalition building to create healthier, more resilient communities.
