Director, Policy & Partnerships, Children's Health Initiative
As Director of Policy & Partnerships at Community Catalyst, Eva plays a leadership role within the organization at-large and works with the Director of Strategic Policy and senior management team to develop Community Catalyst’s state and federal policy agenda.
Eva continues to maintain expertise in children’s health issues and state and local partnerships to ensure children and their families have access to high quality health care that contributes to their long-term wellness. In addition, Eva coordinates efforts to support health advocates and community partners in advancing a health equity agenda that more broadly addresses social determinants of health by engaging health-adjacent sectors to build collective movement for policy change.
She completed her Ph.D. in social policy at Brandeis University. During that time, she worked for the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and for the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality (AHRQ). She holds a master’s degree from the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs and a bachelor’s degree from Colgate University.
Community Catalyst works to ensure consumer interests are represented wherever important decisions about health and the health system are made: in communities, courtrooms, statehouses and on Capitol Hill.
