She supports providers and consumers in advancing public policies that strengthen access to care, leveraging data and communities’ experiences to tell the story of our nation’s mental health and addiction safety net. With more than a decade of experience in health systems financing, addiction and mental health parity, integrated care and Medicaid, Farley David provides strategic guidance and support to community-based addiction and mental health providers, educating organizations on trends inside and outside the Beltway while helping them prepare for major policy changes ahead. Farley David works directly with members of Congress, congressional staff and regulatory agencies to track and influence public policies that affect providers’ ability to deliver timely, high-quality services to vulnerable individuals.
