The commitment required to be a competitive equestrian, and live a holistic lifestyle, has developed Rachel’s work ethic and her desire to deliver health equity to the public.

CureMD.

Rachel has worked for MedStar Hospital Team in many capacities including working with the Gastroenterology department as an administrative assistant responsible for coordinating patient care and executing workflows for the department’s revenue cycle. In addition, she  has worked as a Managed Care Associate, where she observed the nuances of a corporate health system, implementing protocols across a large system whose territory scaled from rural, suburban to urban. After working with diverse populations comprised of Medicaid and commercial insurance payers, Rachel became interested in population health management and its economic impact on hospitals and outpatient clinics.
