Additionally, Matt collaborates across Duke University on policy research at the intersection of climate change, sustainability, and health care. 

Matt is particularly interested in how incentives for higher-value care align with opportunities to address local, community-level health challenges.

That work taught him the importance of on-the-ground perspectives in shaping sound recommendations.
