PALA Executive Director, Margie Zelenak, was recognized by City and State PA on the list of 2022 Healthcare Power 100. Margie’s advocacy efforts have raised the level of Personal Care and Assisted Living providers as an important part of the Continuum of Care in the Commonwealth.
Margie Zelenak has led the Pennsylvania Assisted Living Association, a nonprofit trade organization, since 2015, but her experience in senior living spans two decades. This year, Zelenak received the Argentum Champion of Seniors award for her advocacy for senior living communities in Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. Under her leadership, the association played a key role in securing co-sponsorship for the first federal legislation for elder living, H.R. 6530, which assists senior communities with the twin challenges of COVID-19 and the labor shortage.
