Danielle Thompson, MPP

I am a seasoned health policy analyst, program manager and government relations professional with close to twenty years experience in the non-profit sector, federal and state government, and hospital-based settings. My mission is to improve health outcomes through the promotion of public policies that protect the rights of consumers, improve access to quality care, and emphasize wellness and prevention. I am knowledgeable about how the Affordable Care Act and Massachusetts payment and delivery system reform (Chapter 224) impact various stakeholders. Areas of policy expertise include: mental health, cancer, women's health, food and nutrition, wellness, complementary medicine and people with disabilities. I am particularly interested in removing barriers to care for vulnerable populations and ensuring follow-up treatment after recovery to prevent relapse.Specialties: • Executive leadership• Relationship management and coalition building• Fundraising and development• Grant management• State and federal health policy research and analysis• Policy implementation and regulatory analysis• Issue-based advocacy and policy • Program and project management• Writing, editing, and communications• Event planning and oversight
