Profiles
"Natalie Gochnour, 43, counselor to the secretary, has worked for Leavitt since he was first sworn in as governor in 1993. Of the HHS counselors, she is 'very much at large,' she said, roaming across high-priority areas such as health information technology, the secretary's speeches and implementation of the [HHS] 500-day plan," Ceci Connelly wrote in the July 1, 2005, Washington Post.

"An economist by training, Gochnour said she brings 'fresh eyes' to a department dominated by medical experts. She received her undergraduate and master's degrees in economics from the University of Utah. Gochnour and her husband have two children."
