Alan serves as President & CEO of the Senior Care Pharmacy Coalition (SCPC), the only trade group in Washington dedicated exclusively to the political and public policy interests of long-term care pharmacies. He helped a small group of pharmacies to create the SCPC in October 2014. During his tenure, SCPC assured that legislation to address the opioid crisis recognized the unique characteristics of the LTC patient population and appropriate application to LTC pharmacies, supported market efforts to improve payments and reduce administrative burdens for LTC pharmacies under Medicare Part D and persuaded the FDA to modify regulatory requirements that would have undermined care for patients in LTC facilities.

SCPC represents more than 400 LTC pharmacies caring for more than 850,000 residents in nursing homes and other LTC settings across in all 50 states.

Alan has spent his entire professional career in health care, including stints as President of the Alliance for Quality Nursing Home Care, President and CEO of the Pennsylvania Health Care Association, and Acting President, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of LeadingAge. He began his career as a health care lawyer in Philadelphia, with a particular focus on representing long term providers.

Alan received a Juris Doctor from the University of Pennsylvania, where he served as Associate Editor of The Law Review and studied public policy at the Wharton School.  He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Massachusetts, graduating summa cum laude with a degree in English literature.
