This month, we’re excited to feature Katherine (Kate) Ahrens, PhD, MPH, a principal health data analyst at Onpoint. Kate has more than 20 years of experience in public health research and epidemiology and a deep understanding of how clinical and claims data can be leveraged to support complex analyses. With a background that spans academia, large health systems, and the federal government, Kate brings unmatched expertise to our analytic work. In her previous role as an associate research professor at the University of Southern Maine’s Muskie School of Public Service, her research focused on maternal and child health, rural disparities, and opioid use disorder, topics she has explored in more than 150 papers published over the course of her career. At Onpoint, she helps design complex analytic projects and translates data into meaningful insights to support value-based care and program evaluation. We’re proud to have Kate on our team and look forward to highlighting the impact of her contributions and her extensive research background.
