PUBLIC HEALTH/CLINICAL EXPERIENCE:

June 2010- present

Director, Division of Reproductive Health

NCCDPHP,CDC, Atlanta, GA

Major Duties

Provide strategic vision and leadership in global and domestic efforts to promote optimal and equitable

reproductive health and quality of life through research and program implementation.

Collaborate with local, tribal, regional, state, national, federal, and international governments and

organizations in improving reproductive, maternal, and infant health; promote and increase national and

global strategic partnerships in reproductive health in order to move science to practice

Effecitvely use CDC’s Safe Motherhood and Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiative resources to impact

CDC/HHS priority areas specifically, to prevent teen/unintended pregnancy, maternal mortality, preterm

birth, and infant death.

Main Accomplishments/Impacts

Leads a Division (SES/0-7 billet) of over 180 headquarters and field employees (medical officers,

doctoral scientists, statisticians/economists, public health advisors, management officials,

students/fellows, including 20 USPHS officers) with a domestic budget of over $43 million and

international budget of $3.1 million.

Identified a strategic planning process within the first 30 days; communicated to entire division within 70

days. Refined Division’s priority areas in infant health, prepnancy health, and women’s reproductive

health; developed new mission/vision/strategic focus areas within 1 year. Strengthened Division’s global

health activities to address President’s Global Health Initiative and Millenium Development Goals

(MDG) in maternal and infant mortality reduction. Created new branch for national and global maternal/

perinatal health field support. Improved USG effort to reduce global maternal mortality in districts in

Zambia and Uganda.

Promoted and supported 1st proof-of-concept effort to reduce global maternal mortality—Saving Mothers-

results Giving Life Initiative (CDC, USAID, DoD, Govt. of Norway, Merck for Mothers, ACOG,

Columbia Univ., others). DRH leads maternal mortality measurement, monitoring, and evaluation in

targeted districts in Zambia, Uganda, Malawi, and Tanzania. This US Government collaboration resulted

in a 30% decline in maternal mortality in Zambia & a 35% decline in Uganda within 1 year leadership in

global reproductive, maternal and infant health, DRH has been designated CDC’s lead global

reproductive, maternal and infant health.

Reestablished DRH as a World Health Organization Collaborating Center.

Promoted 6 formal collaborations with CMS, OPA, OAH, NIH, HRSA, and USAID through Interagency

Agreements totaling $13.5M to provide direct technical support to countries, states, tribes, and

communities. Improved data and measures

Continued multi-agency HHS collaboration of President’s Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiative;

achieving success in CDC’s “Winnable Battle”. DRH led community-based, minority-focused,

evaluations; increased use of effective contraception in grantee sites, increased awareness of US repeat

teen pregnancy (1 in 5); engagement of clinical partners (125,000 members) promoted long-acting

reversible contraception for teens; met CDC 2015 teen pregnancy goal in 2013.

Funded 12 state perinatal collaboratives and infant death case registries. Provided leadership and

technical assistance with federal and national partners to 20 Southern/ MidWest states on Collaborative

on Innovation and Improvement Network (CoIIN) for infant mortality reduction. Increased state focus on

reducing infant mortality, disparities, late preterm births, regionalization.

Renewed collaboration with ACOG, MCHB/HRSA , SMFM and others to standardize state maternal

mortality surveillance and review committees in the US with specific emphasis on implementation of

preventive interventions.

Forged a first-ever federal collaboration (via interagency-agreement) with DRH and Centers for

Medicaid/Medicare Services (CMMI/CMCS) to provide direct technical assistance (through a DRH/CDC


Page 4 of 23

assignee to CMS) for the $ 41.4 million CMMI “Strong Start for Mothers and Newborns” Initiative to

reduce early preterm birth through innovative prenatal care models.

Leads CDC’s successful inter-agency HHS collaboration on the President’s Teen Pregnancy Prevention

Initiative (with ACF, ASPE, ASPR, OAH, OPA, and OWH: $100M/year, 5-years). Conducting unified

evaluation strategy for evidenced-based teen pregnancy prevention programs, with DRH leading

economic evaluation. Demonstrated positive progress on CDC’s “Winnable Battle” of teen pregnancy

prevention. Visioning a clear 5-point public health approach (effective clinical interventions, community

engagement, state policy, social media, and social determinants) resulting in declines in sexual activity,

increased use of effective contraception, broad engagement of clinical providers in clinical guidelines

(ACOG, AAP promoting long-acting reversible contraception in teens—125,000 medical members

collectively) with 12% decline in teen births (2012).

Negotiated and received $1.1M funding support from CDC Foundation and JW Kellogg Foundation to

broaden and improve surveillance and evaluation capacity using DRH’s Pregnancy Risk Assessment

Monitoring System in 3 high-risk communities in Louisiana, New Mexico, and Mississippi.

disasters/epidemics/bioterrorism among pregnant and postpartum women. Division’s efforts increased

the percentage of pregnant/postpartum women vaccinated against H1N1, provided guidance for systems

of Emergency Mass Critical Care for pregnant women and infants, provided evidence-based guidance for

pregnant woman and infants on HHS-wide collaboration on anthrax, and increased awareness of need for

reproductive health considerations in the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS).

Funded 9 states in a focused population-based SUID case registry. Success of CDC/SUID case registry

(increased case completeness from 44% to 94%) has changed national prevention efforts from “back to

sleep” to “safe to sleep” due to the increased awareness of accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed

and other causes of sleep related deaths.

Provided programmatic assistance to 3 state-based Perinatal Quality Collaboratives (CA, NY, OH) to

collect timely data for improving perinatal care.

Collaborated with HRSA/MCHB, 13 US Southern states and national partners on prevention of infant

mortality through reduction of 1) preterm birth 2) smoking in pregnancy 3) SIDS/SUID and promotion of

4) risk-appropriate care and 5) preconception care through family planning.
