Meet the Chairman

PIPC Chairman Tony Coelho is a former United States congressman from California, and primary author and sponsor of the Americans with Disabilities Act. 
Picture
By 1994, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that some 800,000 more people with severe disabilities had found employment than were employed when his bill was first enacted.

In March 2009, Tony was named as Chairperson for the Partnership to Improve Patient Care (PIPC). In this capacity, Tony works to amplify the voice of the Partnership’s diverse members, including people with disabilities, racial and ethnic communities and the elderly, among others.
