Bulletin: Introducing Hilltop’s New Executive Director, Alice Middleton
Please join us in welcoming Alice Middleton as Hilltop’s fourth executive director. Alice is a nationally recognized Medicaid subject matter expert and brings a wealth of experience to Hilltop. She joined Hilltop in 2017 as chief of staff, became deputy director in 2022, and has been serving as interim executive director since May 1, 2024, when Cynthia Woodcock retired.
Alice looks forward to continuing to lead the expert staff at Hilltop in this new role. She is eager to work closely with the Maryland Department of Health and other state agencies to navigate upcoming federal changes and identify new opportunities for innovative health policy and program evaluation. As Hilltop recently joined UMBC’s Division of Research and Creative Achievement, Alice is excited to strengthen collaborations with university faculty and leverage academic partnerships to enhance Hilltop’s research capabilities and impact.
