About us
Care Access Strategies is committed to bodily autonomy. We believe your health care choices should not be restricted based on where you live or what you can pay.
Our team has decades of experience in state policy, health care operations, and advocacy.

Her expertise is in state policy solutions to protect bodily autonomy, from abortion access to gender-affirming care to end-of-life choices. Sara's vision is a health care system centering the decisions of people who know what's right for their bodies–supported by law and policy in every state.
