Celeste Anderson has 25 years experience evaluating a wide variety of health and social service programs.  As Senior Administrator for Research, Planning and Evaluation in Delaware’s Department of Health and Social Services, she conducted client surveys, focus groups, and evaluations of over 25 programs.  She also developed and provided training in program evaluation methods to several hundred senior managers. 

 

Examples of programs Celeste evaluated include:

 

  • A public health home-visiting program designed to improve the health status and birth outcomes of at-risk pregnant women.

  • Diabetes education in community-based health centers.

  • Emergency assistance (housing, food, energy, etc.) for low-income residents.

  • A Medicaid Waiver for in-home services for the elderly and people with disabilities. 

 

During her career with the State of Delaware, she received several awards for outstanding leadership and service.  In 2001, she was sent as an exchange employee to Miyagi, Japan, to study and share information on evaluating public services.

 

Celeste also served as an independent consultant on evaluation to drug and alcohol prevention programs for pregnant and postpartum women that were funded by grants from the U.S. Center for Substance Abuse Prevention.  She provided technical assistance and training in evaluation methods, conducted site-visits, and reviewed evaluation designs.  

 

Celeste received a B.A. degree from the University of Pennsylvania and a M.A. from Hahnemann University where she was a teaching assistant in statistics.  She serves on the Board of the Eastern Evaluation Research Society (www.eers.org) and was Co-President in 2007-2008.
