HCFO Staffing Update

Sharon Arnold, program director for the HCFO Initiative, leaves AcademyHealth and HCFO on July 17 to become a senior advisor in the Office of Legislation at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. “I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with so many fine researchers to help contribute to the important body of research on health care financing and organization of care that HCFO has produced,” Arnold says. Bonnie Austin, the HCFO deputy director, will lead the program in the interim until the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation appoints a new director.
