About Us

Kathy Valli, President

Knowledgeable. Collaborative. Innovative. Proactive. Skilled. Driven. Intuitive. These are just some of the words clients and colleagues have used to describe Kathy. As a trusted advisor to physician groups and hospital leaders, she’s known for building outstanding physician-hospital relationships, delivering services that exceed expectations and negotiating agreements that result in long-term, mutually profitable partnerships. Because of the value she brings to organizations, she has earned the respect of physician and hospital leaders who tap into her expertise to develop strategic initiatives and execute action plans that deliver results.


Having spent her entire career in hospital-based physician practice management, Kathy has seen it all – and managed most of it. Her enthusiasm for emergency medicine started as a physician recruiter where she quickly gained insight into the needs of hospitals and physicians, ultimately earning her the position of Senior Vice President over 55 sites. Since then, she’s held executive-level roles with independent/democratic medical groups, national medical groups and health systems, including Chief Operating Officer for Emergency Medical Associates of New Jersey, where she supported their growth from 15 to 35 sites, and Vice President of Multi-Specialty Client Relations for Envision Physician Services.


Kathy has successfully negotiated more than 150 multimillion dollar agreements between physician groups and hospitals and health systems of all sizes.


KMV Consulting is passionate about helping physician groups deliver outstanding care and high-value, high-impact services that align with each hospital’s needs while preserving the group’s unique culture. Our highly successful client relations programs boost hospital satisfaction, drive physician engagement and bring value to both sides. Our strategic advice and hands-on support help physician groups and hospitals meet – and often exceed – their goals.

Because of her experience and expertise in emergency medicine practice management, Kathy Valli has been invited to speak at American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) and other physician conferences.


"Kathy Valli is nationally known for her deep understanding of all aspects of hospital-based physician group leadership and management, whether for small independent or large national groups. She is very much at home in hospital and system C-suites where her credibility, integrity and passion for excellence takes physician-hospital relationships to a new level that has to be experienced to be believed. She redefines what a physician-hospital partnership means and can achieve together."
