@jazsamraj

I lead statewide healthcare programs, policy implementation, budgets, and data-driven operational improvement.

I'm leading administrative and business operations for statewide behavioral health services, managing a $15M operational budget and supporting more than $27M in capital improvement projects.

Previously, I developed healthcare policies for CMS approval at the SC Department of Health and Human Services, completed 30+ fiscal impact analyses, and evaluated $35M in behavioral health infrastructure grant funding. I also built dashboards and tracking tools to improve visibility into policy implementation and program performance.

My work connects healthcare policy, public health, financial stewardship, and operational delivery. I bring an MBA in Healthcare Management and a public health foundation shaped by research on healthcare accessibility, maternal and infant health, caregiving, and injury prevention.
