As part of the organization's ongoing efforts to align its non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) solutions with the needs of clients, MTM is excited to announce the hiring of Michael Hammond as Vice President of Government Sales. Mike, a 36-year veteran of the healthcare and public affairs industry, will lead MTM's initiatives to grow its NEMT client base nationwide, specifically within the Medicaid space. He will guide MTM in pursuing opportunities at the state and local level, working with the Public Affairs team to develop a strategy to best align with clients' needs and position the company for success during the RFP response process.

From 1999 to 2015, Mike served as a consultant to the Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, providing subject matter expertise to states, providers, and federal contractors for behavioral health services. Mike earned his master's degree in management from Baker University and is a member of the College for Behavioral Health Leadership. 

"An accomplished executive hailing from the managed care sector, Mike has built a career focused on disrupting the healthcare system to build healthier communities—a goal that directly aligns with MTM's vision," said MTM's Chief Growth Officer Dave Busch. "His ability to establish relationships with Medicaid plans and work collaboratively with our managed care sales team will help ensure our growth strategy aligns across all markets, and most importantly, offers solutions for our clients' most complex NEMT challenges."
