Elia Brodsky - Portfolio

Welcome!

I’m Eli (Elia) Brodsky, currently serving as the Deputy Director of the Office of Rural Health Transformation and Sustainability at the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH).

In this role, I lead strategy and sustainability planning for Louisiana’s $1.4 billion Rural Health Transformation Program, working with hospitals, universities and agencies across the state identify strategies that best address pressing challenges in rural Lousiana: access to care, quality of care and economics of rising costs for fewer insured patients.

My goal is for rural Louisianans to get good care close to home, and for the programs we build to keep running after federal funding ends.

Before LDH, I built a biotech company in New Orleans, led strategy at Ascension’s DePaul Community Health Centers, and taught at Tulane (School of Business) and Georgetown (School of Medicine).

Every project has been a collaboration and a learning experience, bringing me in touch with some of the brightest minds across the globe. From Europe to Israel, China, the US, and even India, I've learned to appreciate the richness of diverse cultures and ideas. I had the privilege of working with leading scientists, had in-depth involvement in product launches, and negotiated partnerships with multinational companies and top-tier academic institutions.

I am motivated by more than just the success stories but the adventure itself: challenges, triumphs, and unexpected discoveries. I love building teams, companies or products and am excited about meaningful and ambitious projects at the intersection of data, healthcare and biotechnology.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

- Mark Twain
