For more than a decade, the team behind Taylor & Payne has worked to make systems less isolating—for both the people navigating them and those doing the work to serve them. Founded by a former long-term Medicaid beneficiary, breast cancer survivor, and complex care patient who became a health systems strategist, this firm was built at the intersection of policy and pain—channeling lived experience into solutions that serve others.

​​

Taylor & Payne is an end-to-end advisory firm that works across the Medicaid ecosystem to translate lived experience into strategy—bridging policy and practice to drive lasting outcomes for individuals and communities most impacted by structural inequities. Our work turns fragmentation into resonance to build systems that are more responsive, more sustainable, and more human—so investments lead to outcomes people can actually feel.
