About Us

AI consulting based in Athens, Georgia — built for the communities we serve

Scale Street is based in Athens, GA, where academic rigor meets real-world healthcare experience. We help organizations across the Southeast — from large health systems to critical access hospitals — navigate the path to AI adoption with confidence.

Our story

Scale Street is based in Athens, Georgia — a city shaped by world-class research institutions, a tight-knit community, and deep roots in education and healthcare. That environment is part of who we are.

We combine academic rigor with hands-on, real-world experience. Our team brings research-level depth to every engagement — the kind of structured thinking that comes from advanced study — paired with the practical know-how of having deployed AI in live clinical settings, trained thousands of end users, and navigated the messy realities of healthcare operations.

We saw healthcare organizations of all sizes struggle with the same challenge: they knew AI could transform their operations, but lacked a partner who could speak both languages — the technical and the clinical. We set out to fill that gap right here from Athens, bringing the best of both worlds to every organization we serve.

What drives us

Mission-Driven

Every engagement starts with the same question: how does this improve care for patients? We keep outcomes at the center of everything we do.

Practically Minded

We don't sell visions — we deliver working solutions. Our recommendations are always grounded in what's achievable with your current resources and constraints.

Locally Connected

We're proudly based in Athens, GA — and deeply familiar with the healthcare landscape, regulatory environment, and community dynamics of the Southeast.

Our approach

We follow principles, not playbooks. Every organization is different, but the fundamentals of responsible AI adoption are the same.

Listen first

We start by understanding your organization — your workflows, your challenges, your patients, and your goals. AI is a tool. Understanding the problem it should solve comes first.

Start small, prove value

We identify high-impact, low-risk use cases to pilot first. Early wins build confidence, demonstrate ROI, and create momentum for broader adoption.

Build capacity, not dependency

Our goal is to make ourselves unnecessary. We transfer knowledge, build internal capabilities, and design for sustainability so your organization can thrive long after our engagement ends.

Measure what matters

We tie everything back to outcomes — patient outcomes, operational efficiency, staff satisfaction, and financial sustainability. If AI isn't moving the needle on what matters, we adjust.

Who we work with

From our home base in Athens, Georgia, we've built deep expertise across the full spectrum of healthcare organizations throughout the Southeast.

Health Systems & Hospitals

We help multi-facility systems and standalone hospitals build AI strategies that align clinical, operational, and technology teams.

Critical Access Hospitals

From lean IT teams to tight budgets, we know how to deliver AI solutions that work within the constraints of smaller facilities.

FQHCs & Community Health Centers

We understand HRSA requirements, UDS reporting, sliding-fee workflows, and the unique operational realities of community health.
