Denise Levis Hewson received her BSN and MSPH from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and has spent most of her career researching, developing and implementing community-based medical home initiatives targeting vulnerable populations. Denise has been involved in NC’s Medicaid initiatives since the mid 80s and has consulted with other states to explore opportunities to better manage and improve the quality of health care delivered to their target populations. She is the Director of Clinical Programs and Quality Improvement for Community Care of North Carolina – a Medicaid “medical home” program serving over 1million enrollees through 14 participating community based networks with over 1450 practices and 4,200 PCPs. Denise has consulted with many states and organizations on quality improvement, practice re-design, enhanced medical home, chronic care model, care and disease management, integration of care, data and health informatics, system delivery re-design and population management.
