Felicia M. Alexander has over 30 years of experience in public health. She is currently employed by PA Health & Wellness as the health equity specialist for Southwestern Pennsylvania. In this role, she works to enhance the quality of life for older adults by addressing social drivers of health. Felicia is a graduate of The Rayen School and holds a Bachelor of Science in Community Health from Youngstown State University, along with a Master’s in Public Health from Walden University. Her extensive professional resume includes positions such as Prevention Coordinator at the Rebecca Williams Community Center, Manager of the Youngstown Metro Housing Authority’s Public Housing Drug Elimination Program, HIV/AIDS Tester and Counselor at the Youngstown City Health District, and Director of the Youngstown Office of Minority Health.
Additionally, she served as a Community Developer at Aetna Better Health Community Health Choices. Felicia is presently a board member of the Sewickley Valley YMCA, where she emphasizes community engagement, public health, and family initiatives. During her tenure as Director of the Office on Minority Health, she spearheaded community-driven strategies to reduce health disparities, including the Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL) report with Dr. Lashale Pugh, Statewide Minority Health Conferences, Community Conversations, and the African American Men Wellness Walk. As a Community Developer at Aetna, she collaborated with the Family Support Centers and Mon-Valley State Health Improvement Plans and participated in infant mortality initiatives. One of her favorite quotes comes from the late Dr. Maya Angelou: “Let us live so we do not regret years of inertia and ignorance, so when we die, we can say all of our energy was dedicated to the noble liberation of the human mind and spirit, beginning with my own.” Felicia embodies a spirit of resilience and determination to assist those overlooked by society. She is blessed to be a mother of two and a grandmother of four, enjoying a successful career in the social health industry.
