Michael Hager Email & Phone Number

Michael Hager is a President & CEO at Ready, Aim, Innovate! based in New York, New York, United States, North America. I am broadly interested in health policy, process, and outcomes, especially related to social determinants and disparities. I have spent much of my career honing skills related to quality management, peer learning, and health systems strengthening and have special expertise as these relate to HIV/AIDS patients and services. My unique combination of people skills, data analysis, and strategic thinking are compounded by my sunny disposition and enthusiasm to do great things together! The world’s most complicated health challenges can be resolved through meaningful community engagement. In particular, I am fascinated by collaborative learning and the power of health-related campaigns to raise awareness and diffuse innovations that improve outcomes, reduce disparities, and reduce financial and administrative burdens. By leveraging mixed methods data analysis, my team and I focus on true root causes to morbidity and mortality. Using think tank style focus groups involving the range of civil society stakeholders on a given issue, novel local public private partnerships create an all-hands response to the issue. After all, the most important thing in life is people and we can all accomplish more when working together!
