Schwartz named LDI, PPI fellow

Former U.S. Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz has been named both a Distinguished Policy Fellow at the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (LDI) and a Visiting Fellow at the Penn-Wharton Public Policy Initiative (PPI).

Schwartz recently completed her fifth term representing Pennsylvania’s 13th Congressional District, and will bring her experience in government service and policymaking to bear in interactions with LDI Senior Fellows, Fellows, and students across campus, as well as through PPI’s Washington, D.C. office.

“We are honored to have Congresswoman Schwartz as part of our LDI community,” says LDI Executive Director Dan Polsky. “She has been one of the most effective legislators in the health care arena over the past decade. Her experience and her boundless energy will enrich the policy impact of the research of our senior fellows who bring data-tested, policy-focused research to the transformation of the nation’s health system.”
