Our History
The Acacia Story
What started as one individual’s passion, driven by the belief that there is a better approach to consulting, has blossomed into a vibrant, values-driven company dedicated to what matters most — the mission of healthcare, quality assurance, servant leadership, and client satisfaction.
Since our founding over 20 years ago, the promise of Acacia Professional Services (formerly Jacobus Consulting) to our clients hasn’t changed — to provide the best people, transparency, integrity, and the meaningful solutions that help our clients to achieve what matters most as they work to transform healthcare.
Despite humble beginnings, we have built a nationwide client base of leading healthcare providers and established ourselves as a thought-leader in the industry — not only by acquiring some of the best minds in healthcare consulting but also by building a strong history of client satisfaction and of customer empowerment.
Over the years, Acacia has grown and adapted to meet the needs of the ever-changing healthcare landscape. But one thing has remained — our wholehearted commitment to support the care givers and leaders who make healthcare happen.
