Casnoff has a distinguished career in government working on health policy and public health topics, including work on Capitol Hill and in several agencies of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Her experience includes service as Director of the Division of Public Health Policy in the office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation and Director of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) providing insurance for millions of low-income children. She was also responsible for designing and implementing SCHIP in 1997. Casnoff's most recent work was with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) as the Associate Administrator for Health Information Technology (HIT). In that role since 2005, she has promoted the adoption and effective use of HIT among safety net providers and populations.
She also served as a member of the President's Task Force for Health Care Reform and as a Senior Legislative Fellow in the Office of Senator Dave Durenberger.
As an expert in both health care financing and delivery and public health, she will work with researchers in both of NORC's health research departments: Health Care Research and Public Health Research. Casnoff will be based in NORC's Bethesda, MD office. Dan Gaylin, NORC's Executive Vice President for Research Programs, notes "We are thrilled to welcome Cheryl to NORC. She will bring a wealth of policy expertise in many areas of traditional strength to NORC, while at the same time enhancing our capabilities in emerging research areas for NORC such as Medicaid and CHIP. Cheryl's expertise in Health IT is particularly exciting given NORC's growing portfolio of work in that area."
Casnoff received a Masters of Public Health in Health Services Administration from Yale Medical School, Department of Epidemiology and Public Health and a Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences from Northwestern University.
NORC, known since its founding in 1941 as the National Opinion Research Center, pursues objective research that serves the public interest. To learn more, visit our website at: www.norc.org.
