Amanda McIntosh
“FORESIGHT is an expansive and inclusive project that is being designed and carried out by distinctive groups operating across diverse regions and in varying capacities. It is a massive undertaking! I am thrilled to help develop messaging and products that will continue to catalyze engagement while keeping participants in the loop. The architects, philanthropists, and residents all have roles in informing and driving the work and the Communications Team is here to work in concert by framing, narrating, and documenting this journey.”
Amanda McIntosh manages Rippel’s editorial and visual production as well as its social media efforts. She also leads Rippel’s work to measure its outreach effectiveness. She has provided critical research, design, and project management support to national-level Rippel projects, including the Convening of Catalysts leadership group that brings together health system transformation trailblazers. As part of a ReThink Health initiative project exploring tax credits’ potential as a source of sustainable financing for population health, she co-authored a paper for the National Academy of Medicine (2018) and contributed greatly to advancing high-level conversation and interest in the topic via Rippel’s social media channels. Amanda formerly worked to support nationwide programs and outreach campaigns for consumer health advocacy organizations, serving as program associate to Community Catalyst’s Roadmaps to Health project and as statewide coordinator at Health Care For All.
More about Amanda: Amanda grew up on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, not as a summer resident, but as a third-generation “year-rounder.” She had some of the same teachers that had taught her father when he went through the island’s school system, decades before. On a recent visit, she found a rare fossilized Megalodon tooth.
