Christina Crider

Christina Crider leads state advocacy work for Pew’s state health solutions project. In this role, she supports the efforts of policymakers to reduce health care costs and achieve better outcomes through improved data sharing. The project helps states to establish data partnerships between their public health and Medicaid agencies to better leverage the complementary health information each agency collects.

Before joining Pew, Crider served as a deputy division director at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, where she worked in partnership with states to develop and implement Medicare, Medicaid, and commercially insured payment models designed to improve population health, reduce disparities, strengthen primary care, and curb health care cost growth.

Crider received a bachelor’s degree from The George Washington University and a Master of Public Health from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
