Building relationships and advancing health equity are at the core of Caitlin Loyd’s work. A skilled evaluator, researcher, and public health consultant, her expertise spans program evaluation, mixed-methods data analysis, maternal and child health, mental health equity, and public health infrastructure. She is particularly passionate about helping organizations use data to tell their story and serve communities more effectively.
Caitlin’s approach is equally quantitative and qualitative. She moves seamlessly between designing data systems, conducting interviews and focus groups, analyzing survey data, and producing findings reports for diverse audiences. She is known for building trust-based partnerships that make evaluation feel collaborative rather than extractive and for providing technical assistance that builds lasting organizational capacity.
At Health Management Associates (HMA), Caitlin has contributed to a broad portfolio of evaluation, research, and technical assistance projects. She has served as a long-term evaluator for collective-impact and community-based health initiatives, building organizations’ evaluation capacity, demonstrating program impact, and contributing to return-on-investment analyses. She has supported statewide coalitions in data governance and strategic planning roles and contributed to the development of a national public health infrastructure sustainability framework. Her work spans maternal and child health, mental health equity for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and communities of color, behavioral health, care management, and equity-focused training programs.
Before joining HMA, Caitlin worked with a state public health department on maternal and child health and behavioral health integration and served as a research contractor and program coordinator focused on clinical quality improvement and the design of learning collaboratives.
Caitlin earned a master’s degree in public health from Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, and a bachelor’s degree in international studies from Indiana University.
