Former Director of Governmental Affairs - Maryland State Department of Health
With over 20 years in the policy advocacy field, Robyn S. Elliott has been a strong and successful advocate for community health providers primarily focused on ensuring increasing funding for health services, expanding health benefits, and ensuring that the regulatory environment allows providers to operate efficiently and effectively. Prior to this, Robyn worked for both the legislative and executive branches, where she spent almost ten years advocating for health care funding and policy priorities within State government. This included three years as the Director of Governmental Affairs for the Maryland Department of Health, where she was responsible for the broadest legislative package of any State agency; and two years in the Department as an advisor to the Secretary and Chief Financial Officer on how to advocate for funding priorities. Before her tenure at the Department of Health, Robyn worked with the Maryland General Assembly for three years as a budget analyst. She was responsible for advising the legislature about the budgets and policies of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and Department of Aging. Robyn came to the General Assembly with several years of experience in health care finance, where she managed the budget for a State cancer-screening grant program and oversaw the budget process for a large hospital department. She has a master's degree in health care administration from the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill.
