Paige Huffman

Class of 2025

Paige Huffman is a health policy professional and enthusiast based in Washington, D.C., who is working on prescription drug access, the rising cost of health care and the health impacts of climate change in the United States. Her public-health degree, in addition to her early career experience working in health-insurance law and as a reproductive health advocate, fuelled her curiosity about the inaccessibility, unaffordability and inequities of the American health-care system and led her to a degree in health economics and a year abroad in the Netherlands. Paige aspires to understand why health-care costs are so high in the United States and, by telling the stories of those who are impacted by this phenomenon, to help everyone else understand how it may impact them.
