John
Auerbach to Advise on Critical Federal Health
Issues
FAIRFAX,
Va., Feb. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ICF (NASDAQ:
ICFI), a global consulting and technology services provider, today
announced that John Auerbach has
joined ICF as a senior executive and strategic adviser for its U.S.
federal health business.
Auerbach comes to ICF from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), where he served as the director of
intergovernmental and strategic affairs, leading the agency's
engagement with federal, state, local, tribal and territorial
agencies and other external partners. In addition, he oversaw CDC's
health equity advisory group and served as a chief equity officer
for the agency's COVID-19 response.
Sitting within ICF's health, human services and workforce
business, Auerbach will draw on his public sector leadership
experience to help guide the company's work in emerging federal
health markets and identify ways to better support agencies
with their long-term goals. He will also offer industry-informed
insights on challenges faced by federal health
agencies, drawing from ICF's over 2,600 federal health, social
programs, workforce and organizational strategy experts and over 40
years of experience in this space.
"Amid today's tremendous global health and social challenges,
ICF's capabilities and solutions for federal health agencies have
never been more relevant," said Jennifer
Welham, ICF senior vice president for health, human services
and workforce. "John's industry experience will help advance our
proven combination of deep domain and scientific expertise with
leading-edge analytics and technology solutions to help clients
better meet their critical missions and deliver improved health
outcomes. We are excited to have him as part of our team."
"There is a real need for timely, accurate and action-oriented
data to ensure health agencies can not only respond quickly,
effectively and equitably to future health emergencies, but also
tackle burgeoning public health challenges facing the nation
today," said Auerbach. "ICF's mission-driven culture and track
record of delivering high-impact programs is helping us prepare for
that future, while keeping growing threats, such as behavioral
health and the impacts of climate change, at the forefront. I am
truly honored to join this team of dedicated professionals."
Prior to the CDC, Auerbach was the public health commissioner
for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the former
president and CEO of Trust for America's Health, a nonpartisan
organization dedicated to promoting sound public health policy and
making disease prevention a national priority through research,
reports and communications campaigns. Auerbach has co-authored
numerous publications covering topics ranging from the social
determinants of health, mental health, substance misuse, the health
and wellbeing of older adults and more, and was a recipient of the
American Public Health Association's Excellence in Public Health
Award.
