Henry Siegel

Henry Siegel specializes in public health capacity building and state health policy. He works with public health departments to improve their capacity and impact, and he helps states with total cost growth benchmarking to achieve more affordable health care for residents.

Since joining Mathematica in June 2023, Siegel has worked on several projects ranging from supporting business process development for Iowa’s home and community-based services program to working with state and local public health departments and community organizations to strengthen relationships and build organizational capacity and expertise. He is currently an analyst on a project supporting California’s Office of Health Care Affordability’s development of a benchmark report that describes the health care spending landscape in the state. This report and future work are intended to help lower unnecessary health care spending and overall costs for California residents and businesses.

Before joining Mathematica, Siegel worked as a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development certified housing counselor at LUCHA, a local nonprofit organization in Chicago. During this time, he established a deeper understanding of the ways in which finances, place, living situation, and housing affordability affect health and well-being. This experience, among others, fueled his passion for improving lives through reform of the health care and public health systems.

Siegel holds a master’s degree in urban planning and policy and an M.P.H. from the University of Illinois at Chicago, as well as a B.S. in political science from the University of Michigan.
