Prior to transitioning to lobbying and government relations, Liz served as the Deputy Medicaid Director at the New York State Department of Health for more than seven years. In this pivotal role, she played an instrumental part in the day-to-day operations of the Office of Health Insurance Programs (OHIP), overseeing a substantial Medicaid program with an annual budget exceeding $60 billion and a dedicated staff of over 1,000 professionals. While at the New York State Department of Health, she was deeply involved in the development, analysis, and negotiation of the Medicaid budget.
