Yager becomes executive director of Florida Health Justice Project

Allison Yager has been named the executive director of the Miami-based Florida Health Justice Project, replacing Miriam Harmatz, who is stepping down as executive director but will remain active with the organization.

The change was effective March 1. Harmatz founded the organization in 2017.

“Alison brings extraordinary expertise and vision to FHJP’s intersecting work in poverty health law and public health,” said Harmatz. “She will be a fantastic leader, and I’m excited that I will remain a member of the FHJP team as we continue responding to Florida’s tremendous health justice challenges.”
