Who We Are

We Address Complex Problems with Real Solutions.

IMPACTIVO™ is a minority and women-owned business with over fifteen years of experience transforming healthcare systems and consistently delivering better outcomes for our clients. We specialize in research, patient-centered innovation, care optimization, strategic planning, leadership development, lifestyle medicine, and workforce wellbeing.

We partner with healthcare organizations, employers, and research institutions who are committed to creating meaningful change in how people experience health and care.

Our Story

Founded in 2010 by María Fernanda Levis, MPH, MPA, a renowned healthcare strategist with over 30 years of experience in the field, Impactivo was built to transform systems and help people thrive.

Our name merges the Spanish words for “positive” and “impact,” reflecting our commitment to advancing real health—not just treating disease, but creating organizational environments where people truly thrive.

We've partnered with thousands of CEOs, healthcare organizations, physicians, and leaders across sectors to design tailored, results-driven solutions.

Whether helping organizations leverage data effectively, implementing patient-centered care models, or developing innovative research and technology, we relentlessly pursue measurable results while always putting people first.

We believe that sustainable change happens when you combine rigorous research with deep understanding of human needs—and when you work alongside the people who will make that change a reality.
