For over 25 years, Bill McKendree has worked to realize a simple notion: That every individual, regardless of their circumstances, can access all of the care they need to live a healthy and productive life.
Since its creation, Bill has been the director of the Pennsylvania Healthcare Benefit Solutions Program. Prior to his work at PHBSP, he was program manager for the Allegheny County APPRISE office – Pennsylvania’s Health Insurance Assistance Program. And before running Allegheny County APPRISE, Bill was director of the Western Pennsylvania Center for Aging Services, helping thousands of Pennsylvania’s seniors access medical, legal, and social services.
In addition to his work at PHBSP, Bill teaches at the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Pharmacy, and is preceptor for the School’s Experiential Learning Program at the Birmingham Free Health Clinic. He also teaches classes on health law and health care policy at Penn State University, La Roche University, and Community College of Allegheny County.
