ABOUT THIS EPISODE

How Is HHS Transforming Federal Acquisition to Better Serve Its Life-Saving Mission? 

"It's so important to have operational people and operational experience writing policy because if you've never really done the operational work, you don't understand the reality of getting contracts awarded." Jennifer Johnson
