Turning Policy Research into Meaningful Narrative

In 2018, the Ohio Department of Medicaid released a major follow-up study on the impact of Medicaid expansion. I worked with the communications team to translate key findings into clear visual materials supporting a statewide media campaign with Governor John Kasich, Medicaid leadership, healthcare partners, and program participants.
