<p>Marcy Doyle, DNP, RN, MHS, CNL, is a clinician and primary care community researcher at the University of New Hampshire, where she holds a joint appointment in the Department of Nursing and the Institute for Health Policy and Practice. She has dedicated her career to advancing equitable access to high-quality care through whole-person primary care and workforce development. Her work centers on improving outcomes through innovative, practice-based solutions and policy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dr. Doyle has played a pivotal role in advancing statewide delivery system implementation and in evaluating innovative care and workforce development models. She led the development of the first Patient-Centered Medical Home initiative and secured Joint Commission accreditation across multiple Federally Qualified Health Centers in New Hampshire—establishing a precedent for quality improvement in community-based care. Her collaborative efforts with rural clinics resulted in a novel chronic disease management framework, which was subsequently presented to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation as a potential national model.</p>
