Emily Felder has tackled some of the nation’s most challenging health care issues from inside the executive branch and on Capitol Hill. She is co-chair of the firm’s Health Care Group, leads the firm’s federal health care practice and provides clients across the industry with strategic guidance, technical expertise and regulatory counsel. She develops and executes legislative and regulatory solutions on behalf of health care systems, physician and provider groups, hospitals and nonprofit organizations, and works directly with policymakers to carry proposed solutions across the finish line.
