Meet Vermont’s new director of Health Care Reform

Waterbury, VT- The Agency of Human Services has appointed Brendan Krause as the newest director of Health Care Reform.

Krause has an extended history working in health systems and policy. After graduating with a B.A. degree from the University of Florida and earning his Masters degree at the London School of Economics, he worked in Washington D.C. for eight years in the Health Policy Division of the National Governors Association.

Following his time in D.C., Krause moved back to the United Kingdom to work with Optum and the UK’s National Health Service to improve population health management.

Most recently, he served as Head of International for Health at Uber where he worked to minimize transportation barriers to healthcare access.

Krause’s expertise will help the AHS in their mission to improve the conditions and well-being of all Vermonters. “We are excited to welcome Brendan Krause to the AHS team,” said Jenney Samuelson, AHS Secretary. “His extensive experience and innovative approach to health care reform will be invaluable.”
