Like so many others when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the United States, Yale School of Public Health alumnus Justin Mendoza, M.P.H. ’15, stepped away from his usual work duties to address the national health threat head-on.
As an advocacy lead at the Boston-based nonprofit health care organization Partners in Health, Mendoza went from developing policy positions on health care systems and prescription drug pricing to helping build a better response to the pandemic and prepare for future outbreaks.
Mendoza is currently part of the organization’s U.S. Public Health Accompaniment Unit where he engages lawmakers on key COVID-19 policy issues and helps craft policies that advance the U.S. public health response to the pandemic, health equity and the future of health care.
