Cynthia Woodcock to Direct Hilltop’s Long-Term Supports and Services Unit

Cynthia H. Woodcock, M. B. A., has been named director of Hilltop’s Long-Term Supports and Services Unit. In this capacity, she will manage Hilltop’s initiatives in long-term care policy and lead Hilltop’s work on the development of home- and community-based services waiver programs and other integrated long-term care initiatives. In addition, she will continue to manage Hilltop’s contract with the New Mexico Human Services Department, which has focused on launching a new self-directed waiver program and a Medicaid managed long-term care initiative. Under her direction, Hilltop is also assisting with implementation of Maryland’s Money Follows the Person demonstration and carrying out an evaluation of New Jersey’s federal Systems Transformation Grant in long-term care. She succeeds Wayne Smith, who retired last month, and has been with the unit since 2007. Woodcock joined Hilltop in 2004 as a senior research analyst, working with Hilltop’s executive director on strategic planning and new business development.
