June 8, 2007 - Joe Angelelli, PhD, is joining the Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute (PHI) as its Pennsylvania State Director. Angelelli will assume his new position on July 2.
“We are thrilled that Joe will be joining PHI,” says National Policy Director Steven Edelstein. “He is a passionate long-term care reformer who brings with him a great depth of knowledge and experience, both as a researcher and as a coalition-builder.”
Angelelli comes to PHI from the Pioneer Network, where he had served as Director of Networking and Development since 2005. “Joe brought energy, passion and expertise not only to the Pioneer Network but to the entire culture change movement,” said Bonnie Kantor, executive director of the Pioneer Network. “His new position is an exciting one, which will allow him to build on the work he did here.”
Before joining the Pioneer Network, Angelelli was an assistant professor in the Community Health and Health Policy and Administration departments of Brown University and Pennsylvania State University. He has conducted research on health care issues in long-term care and other settings and written numerous articles for peer-reviewed journals about nursing homes and the culture of aging in the United States. He earned his PhD in gerontology and public policy at the University of Southern California.
“I know Joe will do an incredible job in bringing people of the commonwealth together to improve the quality of direct care jobs and quality of care for long-term care consumers,” says Edelstein.
