Bio:
Elizabeth Coté, MD, MPA, is president of MyHealthMath, a health tech start-up that demystifies and transforms how individuals and employers make health care decisions. She joined the company recently to lead its operations through rapid scale. She also consults privately with communities nation-wide to align early childhood systems and reduce health disparities through collective impact and quality improvement. Previously, Elizabeth was the chief health officer at the National Institute for Children’s Health Equity, where she focused the organization’s mission on reducing health disparities and oversaw a large portfolio of national children’s health improvement projects. From 2016–2018, Elizabeth was clinical director and the solo physician caring for the Native American community of the Aroostook Band of Micmacs in rural Maine; her work reducing opioid misuse earned national recognition. Before that, she served in a diplomatic role as the spouse of the former US ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago. In 2011–2012, she was appointed as a White House Fellow and served the US Secretary of Health and Human Services during a historic time in US health policy. Elizabeth received the Harvard Medical School Dean’s Service Award for addressing infant mortality in India and the US Department of Defense Joint Civilian Service Achievement Award for work in post-war Iraq. Elizabeth earned her bachelor’s degree at Wellesley College, her medical degree at Harvard Medical School, and her master’s degree at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. She completed a preliminary pediatric internship at Massachusetts General Hospital and trained in anesthesia at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Elizabeth lives with her two young daughters—sixth-generation Mainers—in Portland. They enjoy the ocean and volunteering to welcome Portland's newest residents, families arriving from sub-Saharan Africa seeking asylum. Elizabeth is a Fellow of the fifth class of the Health Innovators Fellowship and a member of the Aspen Global Leadership Network.
