Caught Our Eye

Ex legislative director now with the Joint Commission

Posted by LegiStorm on June 15, 2016

Adam Harbison has spent his last five years advising members of Congress on healthcare issues. But this month, his penchant for all things health has taken him from Capitol Hill to the Joint Commission, a nonprofit accreditor of medical organizations.

Harbison has spent the last five years working for Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-Va), advising the congressman on legislation and issues involving health care, agriculture, defense/homeland security, transportation and veterans' affairs. Harbison became senior policy adviser in 2013 and then legislative director with the same office until last month. Before that, Harbison served as Rep. David McKinley’s (R-W.V.) legislative assistant/special projects coordinator. 

He’s also worked at the Appalachian Regional Commission and interned for the Northern Ireland Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.

He graduated with a degree in health care management from the University of Alabama, where he served as the national advocacy chair of Colleges Against Cancer and was named a USA Today Academic All-American.
