About Eddie Hu
Health policy and advocacy leader with 8+ years of experience advancing health equity through community-centered policy, coalition leadership, and systems change. I specialize in translating lived community experiences into actionable policy recommendations that improve access, accountability, and outcomes for low-income individuals, immigrants, refugees, and individuals with limited English proficiency.I currently lead statewide, multi-partner initiatives spanning oral health equity, language access, data disaggregation, and Community Health Worker (CHW/P/R) policy. My work bridges strategy and implementation—covering grant development, coalition governance, policy advocacy, technical assistance, and funder reporting across public and philanthropic funding.Known for clear communication, collaborative leadership, and strong execution, I bring a dual MPH/MSW background and a practical, systems-focused approach to advancing equitable health and social care policy. I am especially interested in roles at the intersection of policy, implementation, and communications, where community voice and data can drive durable change.
