About Michelle Larkin

At RWJF, my work focuses on transforming health in our lifetime and paving the way with others to a future where health is no longer a privilege, but a right. I seek to fulfill a promise I made early on in my career to create a positive impact on people\'s lives and make it easier for people to live healthier lives. As vice president, I help to shape the Foundation’s program strategies and ensure that our work advances equity and works to dismantle the structural barriers to health, including racism and other forms of discrimination. My career experiences include bedside nursing, policy analysis at CDC and US Senate, and strategic direction and implementation, change management, program development and implementation, budget development and management, and grants management at RWJF. Advancing health, equity and justice have been core tenets throughout my career. I received my BSN from the University of Pennsylvania, my MS in health policy from the University of Maryland, and my JD from Seton Hall University. I look forward to connecting with you.
