Pennsylvania Health Access Network

Project Director: John Dodds

The Health Access Network is the statewide Consumer Voices for Coverage project seeking to advocate, educate and mobilize the public throughout Pennsylvania on the current historic opportunity to create a quality, affordable health insurance product for at-risk Pennsylvanians, while reining in the cost of insurance for everyone else.  The project intends to build on the strengths of its existing network, mobilize traditional health care supporters, including advocates, health care providers and consumers, and build alliances with other groups not traditionally engaged in health care reform efforts to build a more comprehensive consumer voice.

The Philadelphia Unemployment Project/Unemployment Information Center is leading the Health Access Network initiative to unite a broad-based coalition of consumer and health care advocates around educating and mobilizing the public throughout Pennsylvania for health care reform.

The Pennsylvania Health Access Network is supported by a leadership team of organizations, including:

• Consumer Health Coalition
• The Keystone Research Center/Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center
• Lutheran Advocacy Ministry in Pennsylvania
• Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute of Pennsylvania
• Pennsylvania AFL-CIO
• Pennsylvania Health Law Project
• SEIU
• United Food and Commercial Workers 1776
