Guest Speaker: Greg Moody, Director Office of Health Transformation

Governor John R. Kasich appointed Greg Moody in January 2011 to lead the Office of Health Transformation. OHT is responsible for advancing Governor Kasich’s Medicaid modernization and cost-containment priorities, engaging private sector partners to improve overall health system performance, and recommending a permanent health and human services structure for Ohio.
Greg began his public service career as a budget associate for the U.S. House Budget Committee in Washington D.C. The Budget Chairman at the time, Rep. John Kasich, asked Greg to study the impact of Medicaid on federal spending – an assignment that set the course for his public policy career.
Prior to joining the Kasich Administration, Greg was a senior consultant at Health Management Associates, a national research and consulting firm that specializes in complex health care program and policy issues. He worked with clients to improve Medicaid system performance, and wrote extensively about state health system innovations for the Commonwealth Fund, National Governor’s Association, and other foundations.
Greg’s Ohio experience includes serving as Interim Director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (2001), Executive Assistant for Health and Human Services for Governor Bob Taft (1999-2004), and Chief of Staff to the Dean at the OSU College of Medicine (1997-1999).
Greg has a Masters in Philosophy from George Washington University and Bachelors in Economics from Miami University.
