We invest in the most promising research to turn ideas into life-changing therapies and devices. We work with government, regulatory officials, and insurance companies to address issues that impact the T1D community -- breaking through barriers that limit access to care worldwide. We provide resources and guidance that makes it easier to live and thrive with T1D. This is more than a moment -- we're empowering a movement for the T1D community. Share your support and help educate and empower individuals facing type 1 diabetes.
Our mission is to improve lives today and tomorrow by accelerating life changing breakthroughs to treat, prevent and ultimately, cure T1D and its complications. Always, we are guided by a single purpose: As we drive towards curing type 1 diabetes, we help make everyday life better for the people who face it.
The Director of Health Policy will drive strategic efforts to advance access to care, devices, and drugs for people with T1D. This role will be primarily responsible for advancing broad, affordable access to diabetes devices including continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps, automated insulin delivery systems, and continuous ketone monitors.
Working closely with Breakthrough T1D’s leaders, research colleagues, and volunteers, the Director of Health Policy will lead national commercial health plan and public policy efforts to eliminate coverage barriers and modernize coding in order to accelerate the adoption of life-changing diabetes technology. The person in this role must be a motivated, executive-paced self-starter with a proven track record of leading successful, cross-functional policy and commercial reimbursement projects.
