Background

About Leah Hamilton

I am a healthcare researcher and implementation scientist with over 14 years of experience designing and delivering patient-centered studies that inform real-world healthcare delivery, policy, and system innovation. My work bridges academic rigor and practical relevance—applying mixed methods, stakeholder engagement, and strategic evaluation to deliver evidence that supports patient preference integration, behavioral health, digital care platforms, and implementation at-scale. I’ve collaborated across sectors including integrated healthcare systems, correctional health, and public agencies, and am deeply experienced in navigating complex regulatory and operational landscapes. With a background in population health, criminology, and addiction science, I’m passionate about translating evidence into action—whether through pharmaceutical R&D, healthcare consulting, or value-based care innovation.
