Leah M. Haverhals, PhD, MA (she/her/hers)

Health Research Scientist
Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center
Aurora, Colorado, United States

I am a social and behavioral scientist, implementation scientist, and health services researcher, working primarily as a principal investigator and qualitative methodologist at the Denver-Seattle Center of Innovation for Veteran-Centered and Value Driven Care at the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Eastern Colorado Health Care System in Denver, Colorado. I also hold an academic appointment as an Affiliate Assistant Professor in the Division of Health Care Policy and Research in the School of Medicine at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.

In my past 22+ years as a researcher, I have designed, managed, and conducted national and local research, evaluation, and quality improvement projects in areas of: aging, geriatrics and extended care, telehealth, access to care, public health, community-based participatory research, health technology, disaster preparedness and recovery, life-sustaining treatment preferences for seriously ill patients, caregiving, using photography to manage Veterans’ health issues, and applying implementation science frameworks to national evaluations to improve Veterans’ quality of care and to assess implementation of nationwide VA initiatives.
My research interests include aging and disaster recovery and preparedness, aging and technology, social isolation and loneliness, long-term care in home-based settings, caregiver support and respite, Veterans’ access to care, creative ways to disseminate research and evaluation projects, implementation science, and qualitative methods. I'm looking forward to connecting with you!
