Maya Koenig

Maya Koenig is an editor on the patient-safety and health-literacy desk at InjectCompass. With a Master of Public Health from Johns Hopkins and a decade of work in patient-education program design at academic medical centers, Maya owns the plain-language reading-grade-level review for every post on the site. The troubleshooting content, what to do about bruising, how to tell an injection-site reaction from cellulitis, when to call a prescriber, is hers, and the rule on this desk is that a smart fourteen-year-old should be able to follow every step. She also coordinates the corrections process: when a reader emails about a factual error, Maya is the first reviewer, the one who pulls the source documents, and the editor who drafts the dated correction note before re-publication.
