Profile

Dean M. Hindenlang has served the nonprofit and government sectors for almost 30 years, focusing on strategic planning, administrative oversight and governance, and coalition-building through an equity-based lens. As Director of Public Policy and Strategic Initiatives with Cascade Hemophilia Consortium, his work focuses on coalition-building while helping ensure that individuals needing assistance are advocated for in community- and government-based capacities. In his role, local, state, and federal officials are engaged in public policy initiatives, patient education, and direct advocacy. He is acutely aware that change is an iterative process, equity requires action, and everyone deserves the best possible care and support when accessing healthcare providers. He is a proven leader in assisting members of marginalized and underserved communities. Mr. Hindenlang holds a Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration, completing his doctoral dissertation on equity in community-based programming.
