Lovel began his health advocacy career early, interpreting his own pediatric visits since his family was refused a sign language interpreter.  He saw firsthand a clinical system not designed for the needs of all patients. As an HIV/AIDS case manager, many of the systemic challenges his clients faced echoed his own experiences.  This convinced him to pursue a dual Masters of Public Policy & Public Health at the University of Minnesota because improved outcomes for patients begins by designing inclusive systems. He has been fortunate to work with cultural communities across the state of Minnesota as a research assistant at Allina Health, a policy writer at JustUs Health, and a program evaluator at The Center for Prevention at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota. His passion for inclusive process improvement through collaborative evaluation lead him to become a founding partner of Hearth Analytics.
