“I highly recommend Marcie McMaster and Diogi Health & Wellness to anyone looking for a reliable, hardworking, and very knowledgeable consultant. Marcie helped me navigate the nuances of The Joint Commission & Pennsylvania standards. Marcie always had a solution for any obstacle that our organization ran into. Marcie’s knowledge and work ethic are a rare, but powerful dynamic and resource in the healthcare world. I was referred to Marcie by a friend and once we became acquainted, I knew that she was an individual that would help take our organization from an average organization to a fully accredited status, which we did not have with our prior consultant. The journey to achieve accreditation was filled with uncertainty, highs, lows, and a never ending amount of information to process. To add more complications half our staff had covid. From inception to achieving accreditation, it took roughly 4 months to have our updated Pennsylvania & Joint Commission policy & procedures manual digital, instead of on paper. We are now are 100% digital, have earned our joint commission accreditation, and have a new addition to our Malibu family. I contracted Diogi Health and Wellness’ services roughly 4 months ago. This decision made navigating the red tape and complexities of accreditation incredibly simple. Simply put, contracting Marcie’s services directly launched our organization into the right direction and far exceeded our expectations! Marcie’s vast knowledge, hard-working ethic, and wisdom simplified the entire survey and accreditation process. Look at the testimonials and extensive experience that Marcie has under her belt. Marcie is a hands on consultant, work very hard, and always laughing! If you’re looking for a consultant, look no further. Marcie is truly a blessing to our organization and family. We are incredibly grateful for all the hard work and commitment that Marcie has contributed to our organization. She is a part of our Malibu family & always will be.

The journey to achieve accreditation was filled with uncertainty, highs, lows, and a never ending amount of information to process. To add more complications, the pandemic delayed state surveys and normal work flows on a global level. From inception to achieving accreditation, it took roughly 30+ months.

“Legacy comprises a continuum of care from opioid treatment, detox, residential, PHP, IOP, OP, and transitional living. We have had several consultants in the past and found ourselves in a situation of interim licenses which was very unsettling for Legacy as we strive to be a top notch 5 star organization.
Our director of Human Resources had worked with Marcie McMaster and Diogi Health & Wellness Center in the past and recommended her services. We met with Marcie and she indicated she could have all of our facilities 100% compliant with local licensures and Joint commission accreditation. We were a bit reluctant as we had heard that before but decided to try Diogi Health & Wellness Center.
For those who work in the field of addiction, I know that you are aware of all of the constant challenges that we face with providing quality treatment for our clients. However, in the past few years we have become equally challenged with compliance issues related to the new laws and regulations that have been adopted by the State and nationally relative to Accreditation and license renewals. That process can be difficult and frustrating.
We were “wowed” by how articulate and attention to detail Marcie is. Her work ethic is unparalleled and she is always available by phone or email. Quality treatment and Compliance with the law are equally important components and knowing statutes and laws is where Ms. McMaster excels! What an incredible blessing she has been to myself and to our organization. Her knowledge in assisting organizations like mine with compliance is unparalleled. The quality of her work makes it is easy to see how great she is as a Consultant. If you want quality service, personal attention and successful results, give Marcie a call”.

My name is Frank Sassatelli and I own and operate an Outpatient Substance Abuse Agency with three offices here in Florida.
For those who work in the field of addiction, I know that you are aware of all of the constant challenges that we face with providing quality treatment for our clients. However, in the past few years we have become equally challenged with compliance issues related to the new laws and regulations that have been adopted by the State of Florida and nationally relative to Accreditation and license renewals. That process can be difficult and frustrating.
When I was looking for some assistance and guidance, Marcie’s name was given to me by a Licensing Specialist, who understood that my focus should be on treating my clients and not on attempting to know and understanding every single rules and regulation that comes with providing those services. Quality treatment and Compliance with the law are equally important components and knowing statutes and laws is where Ms. McMaster excels! What an incredible blessing she has been to myself and to my agency!
Her knowledge in assisting agencies, like mine with compliance is unparalleled!…. The quality of her work makes it is easy to see how “great” she is as a Consultant…. But what is even more incredible is that she is an even “greater” Person.
Many thanks to Marcie for being so “talented and skilled” at what she does, so that I can be equally “talented and good” at providing the therapy that my clients need.
It is a privilege and an honor to advocate on her behalf…….
If you want quality service, personal attention and successful results, give Marcie a call. I promise you, that like me…. You’ll be happy that you did!
Thanks, as always, Marcie for everything you have done and continue to do for me and others like me, who couldn’t operate without all of your care, compassion and assistance.

“Choosing to work with Marcie as my supervisor for my clinical supervision was one that has paid off tremendously. In my short time with her I have gained a solid understanding of the field and confidence to work independently. Every week was spent going over relevant topics that aided in my application of social work theory and proved extremely helpful in preparation for the licensing exam”.

” I could not have completed the process of Joint Commission accreditation without Diogi Health & Wellness Center. Marcie has a wealth of knowledge that she breaks down all the standards and information into sections to understand and implement. As a small solo practice, I was in deep water trying to accomplish this on my own. After hiring Diogi Health & Wellness Center, it all came together with ease for a very successful survey. Marcie’s outgoing personality, high reliability, and response rate equals no other consultant. I highly recommend her and her company to any organization (large or small) seeking Joint commission accreditation. She is truly gifted at this and also completed the state licensing with DCF in tandem, outstanding service and results”!

“I highly recommend Marcie McMaster and Diogi Health and Wellness for consultation in the Joint Commission accreditation process. Marcie is knowledgeable, caring and competent. She provided us with all the information and assistance needed to undergo the initial audit and her recommendations and expertise were on target in all areas. Marcie was very helpful in providing much needed anticipatory guidance prior to the audit subsequently that guidance made the actual audit a manageable process. As a small business offering only an evening IOP program we could have never navigated this process on our own but with Marcie’s assistance we were able to achieve our goal of accreditation”.

“I have known Marcie McMaster since 2008. We have worked together since that time and collaborated on several projects. She successfully navigated our organization to obtain DCF licenses for PHP, IOP, and OP. Her skill and detail oriented style is far above the pack of consultants that are out there. She sticks with the project and never gives up, even when obstacles occur, and there were a few! I would highly recommend Marcie and her company, Diogi Health & Wellness Center,for any project you may have that is behavioral healthcare related. She is the best in the business with affordable rates”!

“Though we have only worked with Diogi Health & Wellness Center for a short period of time, Marcie has gone above and beyond our expectations. Marcie is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and accessible. We became Joint Commission accredited in 2016 with a different consultant, transitioning to Marcie as a consultant was seamless and easy thanks to her relaxed, easy-going personality. Marcie’s suggestion of implementing program improvement meetings monthly with the leadership team has helped streamline our strengths and highlighted places that need improvement as a facility. I highly recommend anyone in the behavioral health care field to consider Diogi Health & Wellness Center, they are the best”! JUNE 1, 2019

“Diogi Health & Wellness Center assisted our facility after we were already licensed and joint commission accredited. Our primary concern at Mt. Sinai is the safety of our patients and staff, which we take very seriously. Diogi Health & Wellness Center completed our ICM (intra-cycle monitoring) for Joint Commission, audited our emr’s, came out in person to see our facility, met with all of our staff, and most importantly went through the facility with a fine-tooth comb to address any potential safety concerns. All of consultant Marcie’s suggestions were corrected on site and we are thrilled to have her as our consultant going forward. Marcie of Diogi Health & Wellness Center is a real pro and I highly recommend her to anyone in the behavioral health care arena.”

Marcie is a consummate professional who works smart and diligent to get the job done. She continues to exceed our expectations. Although we had several minor issues, Marcie swiftly navigated all of them, helped us correct them quickly, and brought us in with flying colors. As a consultant, she is bright, intuitive and accessible, which is invaluable to a boutique business like ours. It has been a wonderful partnership for us the last four years, and we look forward to Diogi Health & Wellness’s continued insight with all our ongoing compliance audits”.

“We engaged Marcie to assist us with our DCF license applications. Even though she stepped into the middle of a very difficult situation, Marcie was able to identify the issues holding up our application and get us back on track. Her experience, diligence and hard work were invaluable in helping us negotiate the application process and allow us to finally get our licenses. Her communication with us was always timely and she always steered us in the right direction. We cannot recommend Marcie strongly enough for your DCF needs and we look forward to working with her again in the near future on our Joint Commission application”.MAY 2018

“I stepped in and took over a struggling facility with a schedule JCO inspection in a little over two weeks. After knowing the impeccable woman that founded Diogi Health & Wellness Center I knew I had no other choice than to call them and get the ball rolling. With a nearly impossible task ahead of us, the realization of time suddenly hit all of us like a freight train. My team, their team and everyone involved sprung into action. I am thrilled to say that this woman not only dove in, but without hesitation promptly aided my entire team of treatment professionals. After 17 days of hard work and an AMAZING partnership we successfully passed with minimal things to correct. I believe whole heartedly that we accomplished in 17 days what would normally take 9 months. If you have any hesitation on obtaining their services… DONT! You will thank me in the long run. Blessed to have this woman on my side”! -Scottie Collins, CEO, Mending Fences Recovery Center, 844-400-Mend, 561-951-9847- Cell, scollins@mendingfences.us
“We hired Marcie as a consultant to help us go through our Joint Commission accreditation process in 2016 and she has worked far beyond what we expected from her.
We were particularly impressed by Marcie’s ability to handle some of our reluctance to change due to the enormous amount of administrative work required by this accreditation. Marcie was able to lead multiple departments of our organization to meet our common goal.
On a personal note, while Marcie is a hard worker, I can still hear her laughter as she completed her tasks. Not only is Marcie professional, she has a cheerful personality necessary to make this process as smooth as possible.
Marcie earns my highest recommendation as a consultant for any business need for which she is qualified.”

-Franco Policaro, MD
CEO, Seaside Treatment Center, INC
“Diogi Health and Wellness Center provided excellent guidance and support through our initial DCF audit and full licensure. Marcie is a highly experienced clinician who understand the nuances of clinical care. We utilized her expertise to assist with policy and procedures, chart practices, and personnel matters in order to assure an optimal level of compliance. Additionally, as a small company, she was able to listen to our needs and afford our treatment center with an individualized attention with customized advice. We utilized the services of Diogi Health and Wellness in order to pursue Joint Commission accreditation for our treatment facility. I found them to be far more responsive and individualized in their efforts for us than companies I have utilized for accreditation services while supervising at prior treatment facilities.Their consultation and recommendations were geared towards our needs and not cookie cutter. Diogi provided practical guidance that we were able to utilize to successfully pass our initial survey, while putting lasting changes into place that improved our overall care. I have utilized their services for multiple licensures and accreditation matters and have found them to be consistent in their delivery of all contracted efforts. I highly recommend Diogi for those facilities seeking support and consultation in the accreditation process”.
