PHLP WELCOMES ITS NEW Director
Laval Miller-Wilson , a Senior Attorney at Juvenile Law Center in Philadelphia , will join the Pennsylvania Health Law Project (PHLP) as Executive Director. He replaces Michael Campbell, who recently accepted a teaching position at Villanova University Law School and who co-founded PHLP with Ann Torregrossa. Ms. Torregrossa served as the program's first Executive Director.
"The Board and staff are excited to begin this new chapter in PHLP's story," said Dana Breslin , PHLP's Board President. "This is a perfect fit and we are quite pleased to have Laval join our fight for health justice. He is an outstanding advocate, an innovative leader, and a greatly respected member of the public interest community. At JLC he led the same advocacy strategies as PHLP: statewide direct services, education and information, litigation, and policy improvement. His work in obtaining needed health services for his clients has instilled a deep understanding and commitment to overcoming the many barriers to health care.”
Miller-Wilson, who will assume his role at the beginning of February, said “I look forward to leading this extraordinary health advocacy group at a time of great opportunity on the horizon to finally solve the larger health care crisis that has caused so many to suffer due to a lack of income and health insurance as well as cutbacks in public insurance programs.” Prior to February 1, Mr. Miller-Wilson can be reached by email at lmillerwilson@phlp.org .
PHLP gives special thanks to Leonardo Cuello, Senior Staff Attorney, who has served as Interim Director for the last six months. He continues to be of great help in this period of transition.
