Lori-Smith Sakalousky: As we reflect on this past year, one of ADVI’s core values that has guided us throughout is to act with integrity. Doing what’s right, even when its hard or unseen, has been ADVI’s compass in navigating uncertainty and delivering strategic advice in 2025. Thank you for trusting us to guide that advice even in those few times when it wasn’t necessarily what you hoped to hear. You’re openness to honest dialogue and problem solving has made every challenge an opportunity for progress. Acting with integrity means aligning words with actions, honoring commitments, and building trust, and together, we’ve done just that.
This year reminded us that integrity for us isn’t just a value on paper, it’s a day-to-day progress. It’s in the transparency of our recommendations, the rigor of our analytics, and the accountability that we uphold in every decision. It’s also in the clarity we strive for, ensuring everyone understands not just what we do, but why we do it, and in the commitment to shared results that unite us as one team.
Thank you for walking this path with us in 2025 and for holding us and yourselves to the highest standards. We are looking forward to the new year, and as we wrap up this one, wish you a joyful holiday season filled with peace, gratitude and celebration.
Marci Mutti: As the year winds down, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to all our clients, friends and the team that makes everything possible. This year, more than ever, we’ve lived our value to strive for excellence because we care deeply about the work we do and the impact we create together.
Striving for excellence, one of our core values, means showing up everyday ready to do our best, always learning, growing, taking pride in our work and never settling. We do it while acting with integrity, cherishing the journey, and doing good work that truly matters to you, our clients, and your patients.
Thank you for being apart of this journey, your trust and partnership inspire us to reach higher and push further. Wishing you and you’re loved ones a joyful, restful holiday season, and a new year filled with curiosity, growth, and lots of reasons to celebrate. Here’s to continuing our journey together in the year ahead, we are so grateful for you, and wish you the best in the new year.
Chris Wittwer: As we close out a remarkable year, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our clients, partners, and colleagues who make this work so meaningful. At ADVI, our guiding principles of thinking smart and staying curious has been at the heart of every project, conversation, and solution. Staying curious is about more than asking questions, it’s about truly listening, exploring new perspectives, and challenging ourselves to see beyond the obvious. This mindset has fueled our growth, strengthened our relationships, and inspired innovative solutions to those challenges facing our clients each day.
This holiday season, I hope you find moments to reflect, recharge, and explore new ideas to spark your own curiosity fueling into 2026 and beyond. Here’s to a new year full of fresh perspectives, smart thinking, and shared success. Warm wishes to each one of you, and I hope you have a joyful holiday season and prosperous new year.
Juli Denny: As we close out the year, I want to extend my appreciation to each of you. The season naturally invites reflection and when I look at what ADVI Health has accomplished together, in partnership with our clients, one theme stands our clearly: impact.
At ADVI, impact isn’t just a value written on a page, it’s the mindset that defines how we show up for our clients and one another. This year you demonstrated what impact truly looks like. Going beyond tasks to deliver real value, bringing clarity to very complex challenges, and pushing progress forward even in times of industry change and stress.
Every strategic insight you shaped, every relationship you strengthened, every moment you chose to solve rather than settle, those choices mattered and created meaningful change for clients and patients who rely on us. Thank you for leaning in, for caring deeply about the work, and for proving that impact isn’t accidental, it’s built through dedication, creativity, and a shared commitment to excellence.
As we head into the holidays, I hope we take time to rest, recharge, and celebrate all that we’ve achieved together. I’m energized by the year ahead and genuinely grateful to grow alongside this team.
Marc Samuels: As we wrap up a year marked by evolving market access challenges, and headline making policies like MFN and tariffs, we want to thank our incredible clients, team members, and partners, and regulatory colleagues for making this journey meaningful, impactful, and true to our values, always a little fun.
Whether we are tackling policy headwinds, reinventing access and pricing strategy, or crunching complex analytics, each step would not be possible without your trust, insight, and collaboration at every turn. Our journey this year from the boardroom to the regulatory arena reminded us that success is measured not just by the milestone, but by the camaraderie, creativity, and yes, even fun, we share along the journey.
Thank you for your partnership and your friendship, it continues to be our greatest privilege and motivation. Here’s to embracing new challenges ahead, celebrating our shared progress, and never losing sight of the journey together. Wishing you and your families a joyful and prosperous new year.
