Mike Tuffin, executive VP at America’s Health Insurance Plans trade group of insurers and healthcare providers, will rejoin APCO Worldwide June 25 as managing director of its Washington headquarters.
He replaces Robert Schooling, who was recently upped to Americas president.
Tuffin exited APCO for AHIP in 2005. He was responsible for its advocacy, advertising and grassroots development during the debate over president Obama’s healthcare overhaul effort.
Prior to his first APCO stint, Tuffin was senior director of strategic communications at Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America and Capitol Hill staffer.
APCO has 200 staffers in D.C. It is the No. 2 independent firm with $120.7M in 2011 fee income, $22.7M of that amount derived from healthcare work.
