Staff


Stephanie Teleki is CHCF’s director of Learning and Impact. She partners with the foundation’s program teams to optimize impact by supporting staff in learning from investments, assessing and improving grantmaking approaches, and — together with grantees and other partners — identifying effective pathways to improve California’s health care system. Under her direction, the L&I team manages and executes portfolio strategy reviews, learning events, grantmaking data collection and analysis, and external evaluations.

As a member of CHCF’s program staff herself, Stephanie has led the foundation’s portfolio in maternity care for over a decade, including work to improve maternal mental health care, promote Black birth equity, and reduce unnecessary cesarean sections statewide. Earlier at CHCF, Stephanie led its transparency-focused effort to develop metrics for quality improvement and accountability in the fields of maternity care, cancer, and orthopedics.

Before joining CHCF, Stephanie was a policy analyst in the health unit of RAND Corporation, where she conducted health policy research and evaluations for such clients as the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and health plans. She has also held research and management positions at Kaiser Permanente, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research.

Stephanie received a bachelor’s degree in English and history from Amherst College, a master’s of public health in health services research and policy from the University of Texas at Houston, and a doctorate of philosophy in health services research and policy from the University of California, Los Angeles.
