Megan Burke is the Founder of Adaptive Government Relations and brings nearly two decades of experience operating at senior levels of federal policymaking and political strategy.

​

Megan served as a senior policy advisor to the House Republican Conference under former Conference Chair, and later Chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Cathy McMorris Rodgers. In that role, she worked closely with House leadership and members of the Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means Committees on major policy initiatives, including federal health programs, reimbursement design, regulatory oversight, and budgetary strategy. She was centrally involved in bipartisan legislative efforts shaping federal health policy, including initiatives connected to the 21st Century Cures Act and reforms impacting graduate medical education, Medicare and Medicaid frameworks, and access to innovative therapies and medical technologies.

​

Since 2018, Megan has advised health systems, provider organizations, patient advocacy groups, and health care innovators on navigating federal policy spanning legislative strategy, appropriations engagement, regulatory positioning, and long-term alignment before Congress and the Administration. Her work is bipartisan and relationship-driven, focused on advancing durable outcomes in complex political environments. In parallel with her client work, she has contributed to broader governance and policy leadership, including serving for three years on the Executive Board of the National Down Syndrome Society, where she advised on federal strategy and organizational positioning.

​

Her professional focus on federal health policy is informed by longstanding proximity to the delivery and business of care. She comes from a family of health professionals and revenue leaders, offering perspective on both clinical realities and the operational economics that shape the system.

Megan lives in McLean, Virginia with her husband and their three children.
