Jan Lambert

Jan Lambert has been a member of Comagine Health’s Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC) since 2014. Her interest in public policy and issues that directly affect “real people” is rooted in early experiences working for Sen. Henry Jackson in his Washington, D.C., office after completing a degree in political science. Her interest in health care issues and policies is a result of years of caregiving and managing her own and her family’s health care issues.

As a member of the PFAC, Ms. Lambert works with Comagine Health staff to provide the patient perspective on a variety of projects that directly affect Medicare and all health care recipients in Utah. Her contributions include participating as a panelist in the 2018 Health Services Research Conference at the University of Utah, attending the Utah Summit on Healthcare Affordability, serving as a member of the Open Notes National Information Technology PFAC, participating in a series of ECHO sessions for Utah clinics addressing the Annual Wellness Visit and working on a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute grant in conjunction with the University of Utah to develop a guide for researchers who wish to partner with PFACs. More recently, she has been a part of the Comagine Health HUB, a council of patient advisors from Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Washington.

Ms. Lambert is a member of the PFCC partners advisory board and an active participant in that organization, attending educational seminars and participating on panels at their yearly conferences.

Professionally, Ms. Lambert worked for 30 years in the hospitality industry in Utah, starting her own company providing tours and event planning for guests to the state in 2006.
