Francie also oversees HRET’s governance research.
Previously, as HRET’s director of community health programs, Francie was responsible for the Community Care Network demonstration program. Reaching the end of its funding cycle in 2003, the Community Care Network demonstration program successfully achieved a variety of objectives related to developing cross-sector partnerships aimed at improving health care in local communities across the United States.

Prior to coming to HRET, she worked as assistant director in charge of research and training at two social science research centers at the National Opinion Research Center and the University of Chicago. Her research has focused broadly on unintentional limitations to access to health care, and she has substantial prior experience in textbook and professional publishing.
