Meet our new Director of Government Relations, Eric Colchamiro

02.28.17

Eric comes to Health Care for the Homeless from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, where he worked in Intergovernmental Affairs, helping staff navigate how to effectively communicate policy priorities at the city, state and federal levels. His career in health care policy and politics has also included work at the National Quality Forum on Capitol Hill for Senator Wyden, and on multiple political campaigns for local and national candidates.

His career is rooted in a desire to do good, which was instilled in him by his dad, a longtime dentist at a community health center in Boston. Throughout his teenage years, Eric volunteered at Rosie’s Place, a homeless shelter for women in Roxbury, MA. The knowledge he gained from going to work with his dad, and from serving clients at Rosie’s, makes advocating for Health Care for the Homeless a meaningful professional experience.

Eric is a fan of Red Sox baseball and the theater, and he makes an annual pilgrimage to Fenway Park with his wife. We'll work to let him know there's a fine ballpark (and team) right here in Baltimore...
