About Medical ANS
Decades of network engineering, pointed at one industry.
We started Medical ANS in 2014 with a simple frustration. The networks running American hospitals were running on yesterday's assumptions — built for nursing stations, not for connected pumps; for fax machines, not for sub-second EHR latency; for IT, not for clinical operations. We set out to build the alternative.
01 / Origin
Founded by network engineers who'd spent careers watching healthcare lose.
Our founders came out of carrier core engineering and large-enterprise security. Between them, they had deployed networks for telecoms, banks, and federal agencies — environments where downtime is measured in dollars per second.
When they began consulting in healthcare, they kept seeing the same pattern: networks under-architected, security retrofitted, costs inflated by carrier sprawl, and clinical teams paying the price in slow imaging, dropped video visits, and unscheduled outages. Medical ANS was their answer.

Median WAN availability, trailing 12 mo.Network architects, security engineers, biomedical integration specialists, and healthcare compliance leads — under one accountable team. Every engagement is led by a principal.
Daniel Korr
Chief Technology OfficerNetwork architect who's stood up production networks across hospitals, ambulatory networks, and specialty centers. Holds CCIE, CISSP, and runs our private-cellular practice.
Renée Atwell
VP, EngineeringLeads our delivery organization. Twelve years running multi-site WAN and SD-WAN deployments for regional hospital systems. Champion of "boring networks" as a clinical-safety value.
Jamal Forrest
VP, Healthcare SolutionsFormer hospital CIO. Translates clinical workflows into network requirements and writes the requirements documents nobody else writes well.
Priya Venkat
Director, SecurityBuilt zero-trust architectures for federal and healthcare clients. Owns our HIPAA, HITRUST, and SOC 2 alignment programs. CISSP-ISSAP.
Samuel Okafor
Director, Customer SuccessRuns our quarterly business reviews and the ongoing optimization program that has reduced average client carrier spend by 22% in year one of every engagement since 2021.
Three phases. Each handed off to the next with a written deliverable and an executive readout. No hand-waving, no surprise invoices.
Assess
A structured 4–6 week network and security assessment. Site walkthroughs, traffic capture, carrier and contract review, IoMT inventory. Output: a written architecture-and-cost baseline with prioritized gaps.
Architect
Solution design tied to clinical requirements, with named technologies, costs, and a phased rollout plan. We bring T-Mobile's solution engineering team in for joint review where carrier services are part of the design.
Operate
24×7 NOC, security operations, lifecycle management, and quarterly business reviews. We're measured against a written SLA, with optimization targets tracked every quarter.
Healthcare runs on trust. So do we.
Patient impact first
Every architecture decision passes through one filter: does this make care safer, faster, or quieter for the clinical team? Network elegance is a means, not an end.
Security by default
We don't ship designs that require future security upgrades. Zero-trust posture, segmentation, and logging are foundational — not roadmap items.
Vendor neutrality
We don't resell hardware. Our recommendations are tied to outcomes, not margin. When the right answer is a competitor's product, that's the answer you'll get.
Transparency
Quarterly reviews come with the numbers — uptime, incidents, MTTR, optimization wins, and where we missed. We write the report we'd want to read.
