    Glenna M. Crooks, Ph.D., is president of Strategic Health Policy International, Inc. She organizes the chaos of policy, politics and health care, and finds solutions to the seemingly intractable problems faced in achieving better health for all, not just in the United States, but for the global community. Dr. Crooks consults with pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies, trade associations and government, both domestically and internationally. Glenna Crooks assists government and health care businesses integrate the twenty-first century world of policy and politics into their research, strategic planning, marketing, sales, and public affairs to achieve their objectives, in particular those related to profit and strategic competitive advantage. SHPI provides services ranging from facilitating consensus to negotiating and resolving conflicts; from speaking on select topics to customizing topics for client needs, and from training and mentoring to coaching and briefing executives.

    With more than 20 years experience, Dr. Glenna Crooks' unique perspective is drawn from senior policy and line management positions. She managed reimbursement and quality reform efforts, directed AIDS policy issues, organ transplantation programs, drug-development needs for rare diseases, drug-pricing issues, pharmaceutical public-policy operations, new business start-ups, joint-venture partnerships and international government relations.

    Glenna Crooks' work is based on tenure as a Reagan Appointee, and on the global policy operations she developed for Merck & Co., Inc., which was recognized by her peers as the best of the Fortune 500. Policy's greatest contributions are made when they support operating, commercial objectives, as Dr. Crooks knows well from her experience as vice-president for Worldwide Operations of Merck's Vaccine business and through her service on Boards of Directors.

    Dr. Crooks is the author of Creating Covenants: Healing Health Care in the New Millennium (2002) and the co-author of Grantseeking: Art, Science and Strategy (2004.) Creating Covenants is intended to end debates and begin dialogue regarding the U.S. health care enterprise.
