Rachel Gallo is a Research Associate at the Catherine Cutler Institute and leads or participates in grant-funded projects which focus on improving healthcare delivery and health outcomes. She is a founding member of the Catherine Cutler Institute’s Data Innovation Project which partners with organizations to increase their capacity to utilize data to clearly define their work, achieve results, and demonstrate impact in Maine and beyond.

With a background in Epidemiology, Ms. Gallo’s work primarily focuses on the utilization of quantitative data to support evaluation, research, and continuous quality improvement efforts at local, state, and federal levels.
