About Elevate Vets Consulting LLC

Veteran-led healthcare revenue consulting — built on discipline, clinical expertise, and measurable results.

A Veteran-Owned Firm Committed to Excellence

Elevate Vets Consulting LLC was founded with a mission to bring disciplined, mission-driven leadership to complex consulting challenges in the healthcare and business sectors. Based in Murphy, Texas, and proudly veteran-owned, our firm delivers results-focused consulting solutions in healthcare operations, project management, business analytics, and operations strategy.


Our founder, Ray C. Rogers, is a veteran with extensive experience in leadership and process improvement who established Elevate Vets Consulting to support organizations seeking clarity, accountability, and measurable results.


That mission is carried forward by a leadership team that combines veteran-driven operational discipline with deep clinical expertise, including Dr. Cheryl Garmon, DNP, RN, CASC, EVC’s principal Subject Matter Expert (SME) in ASC operations, credentialing, and revenue cycle governance.


We believe in building consulting relationships that deliver real impact—not just reports or recommendations that sit on a shelf. Our team provides structured, results-driven consulting tailored to the specific needs of each client. We support both private sector clients and government agencies with the tools, strategies, and insight they need to move forward with confidence.

Where Veteran Discipline Meets Clinical Expertise

Elevate Vets Consulting LLC was founded with a single purpose: to bring the discipline, precision, and accountability of military leadership to the complex challenges facing independent healthcare practices. Based in Murphy, Texas, and proudly veteran-owned, EVC specializes in healthcare administrative processes, evidence-based practice (EBP) operations, and revenue performance improvement — helping practices identify the root cause of credentialing delays, rising denials, and unstable cash flow so they can move forward with clarity and confidence.

Our leadership team combines veteran-driven operational discipline with over 40 years of hands-on clinical expertise.Every strategy we develop is reviewed through a clinical lens before implementation — ensuring that our recommendations are not only financially sound, but operationally achievable. We support both private healthcare clients and government agencies, and we measure our success exclusively by the outcomes we deliver for each client.

This ensures that EVC's recommendations are not only financially sound, but operationally achievable in a real clinical environment.

Our Commitment to the Veteran Community

As a proud veteran-owned business, Elevate Vets Consulting LLC is committed to helping veterans succeed in business and the civilian workforce. We support fellow veterans through professional networking, mentorship, knowledge-sharing, and, when appropriate, subcontracting and collaborative business opportunities.


We believe discipline, leadership, resilience, and mission focus developed through military service are valuable assets in any organization. EVC seeks to create and support opportunities that recognize these strengths and help veterans translate their experience into meaningful careers and successful business ventures.


EVC's founder, Ray Rogers, actively participates in veteran entrepreneurship, training, and mentorship activities offered through the University of Texas at Arlington Veterans Business Outreach Center (UTAVBOC). Through these programs, he connects with other veteran business owners, exchanges practical business knowledge, and continues developing relationships within the veteran entrepreneurial community.

His involvement reflects EVC's commitment to expanding awareness of entrepreneurial resources and encouraging veterans to pursue greater economic independence, professional growth, and personal well-being.


For EVC, supporting veterans is more than a statement—it is an ongoing commitment to service, opportunity, and shared success.
