Most recently, Ms. Foderingham managed the full scope of the New Orleans Charitable Health Fund program which provided funding and technical assistance to local community-based organizations to improve the physical and mental health of residents in the Greater New Orleans area through integration of behavioral health, primary health care and linkages to social services using evidence-based and innovative approaches. She has led and served as faculty for quality improvement projects focused on primary-behavioral health integration, health information technology, quality improvement, population health management and linkage to the public health system. She holds a dual Masters in Social Work and Public Health from Tulane University and a Bachelors of Science degree in Psychology from Xavier University of Louisiana.
