Biography: Melissa Atlas has been working in healthcare since right out of undergrad, with an emphasis on healthcare services and policy research. After interning at Humana during summer 2019 and graduating from UNC with her dual MBA/MSPH from Kenan-Flagler Business School and Gillings School of Global Public Health in May 2020, she has been putting those two degrees to work in the Medicaid line of business for Humana in Louisville, Kentucky.

She is currently a Senior Strategy Advancement Professional for the Corporate Medicaid Provider Network team, focusing on all things value-based payment and provider services, from both strategic and operational perspectives.

In her free time, she likes to hang out with dogs, cook, and watch trashy television (because we can’t all be thinking about the world’s healthcare issues 100% of the day :).
