12.10.25 — Shannon Rempe has joined Northeastern Law’s Center for Health Policy and Law (CHPL) as program director for the Advancing Public Health and Health Equity in the Courts program. She is an experienced public health attorney dedicated to advancing health equity through public health law and policy, litigation strategy and collaborative advocacy. Across her work, Rempe embeds practices that center health and economic justice, redressing systemic harm and the civil rights of health.

Rempe’s legal background includes advocacy related to civil rights, health and social safety net programs, healthy food systems, access to health care and healthy housing. Before joining Northeastern, Rempe was an attorney with ChangeLab Solutions where she conducted legal research and policy analysis on core issues of good governance, including legal authority, preemption, the policymaking process and cross-sector collaboration. Her focus on state and local-level policy builds upon her earlier role as the Health Law Fellow at the Kentucky Equal Justice Center (KEJC), where she was co-counsel in a federal class action challenging unconstitutional medical debt collection practices in Kentucky and helped develop KEJC’s reproductive justice and sexual rights portfolio.
