We know the room. We know how to move inside it.
Cree Strategies is a boutique government affairs firm built for organizations that need more than a lobbyist — they need a strategic partner.
Cree Strategies was founded on a straightforward conviction: the organizations doing the most consequential work in healthcare and advocacy deserve government affairs counsel that is as committed to their mission as they are.
We built this firm to be different from the large shops that take on every client and spread their attention thin. We are selective by design. Every client we take on receives the full weight of our relationships, our expertise, and our strategic thinking — not a junior associate and a quarterly check-in.
Our practice is deliberately focused on healthcare and advocacy because depth matters in this work. Knowing the right people is table stakes. Understanding the policy landscape, the political dynamics, and the institutional culture of the agencies and committees that shape healthcare law — that's what moves outcomes.
Selectivity
We take on fewer clients so we can go deeper with each one. Our relationships and our attention are not divided across a hundred accounts.
Candor
We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. That means honest assessments of what's achievable and what isn't.
Mission alignment
We are drawn to clients whose work we believe in. That alignment makes us better advocates — and better partners.
Healthcare policy is all we do.
The federal healthcare policy landscape is vast, complex, and constantly shifting. CMS rulemaking, congressional appropriations, FDA guidance, public health legislation — each domain has its own cast of characters, its own procedural rhythms, and its own pressure points. We have spent years building the relationships and the expertise to navigate all of it. That focus is our edge.
