Biography

I'm a correspondent covering Georgia and elsewhere in the south for KFF Health News. Before that, I worked at local public radio stations WABE and Georgia Public Broadcasting in Atlanta and community radio station WRFI in Ithaca, New York. I spent a few years prior to that working in internet fraud de/protection for Airbnb. You can learn more about me and see some of my work at http://www.sam-whitehead.com/.

Kaiser Family Foundation

KFF is an independent, nonpartisan organization focused on health policy research, polling, journalism, and public health information campaigns. Founded in 1948 by Henry J. Kaiser, it became a public charity in 1991 under Dr. Drew Altman. With headquarters in San Francisco and an office in Washington, DC, KFF serves as a trusted source of health information, distinct from Kaiser Permanente. KFF operates in four main areas: policy research, public opinion polling, journalism through KFF Health News, and public information campaigns via KFF Social Impact Media. It provides valuable insights for policymakers, the media, the health care community, and the general public. Governed by a Board of Trustees and funded through an endowment and external grants, KFF emphasizes independence and transparency in its work.
