Federal Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius (D) appointed former state Rep. Judy Baker (D) as a regional director yesterday.
Baker will represent HHS Region VII which covers the states of Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska. Baker's responsibilities will include coordinating federal health policy with state and local entities.
"HHS welcomes...Judy...and we look forward to working with [her] to achieve HHS' mission to protect the health of all Americans and provide essential human services," Secretary Sebelius said in a press release. "Their individual experience and knowledge of our department's most important issues, as well as local understanding of the people and institutions in their respective Regions make them a welcome addition to HHS."
Baker previously represented the 25th House District, which includes part of Columbia. She is currently a partner at Cura Advantage, a consulting firm that focuses on health care system improvements.
