Horowitz is a licensed registered nurse and licensed registered respiratory therapist. Before joining HHS, he held a number of clinical, teaching, and administrative positions at major university-based medical centers. He served as the Acting Director of ECRI Institute's National Center for Independent Medical Review and as the Director of Clinical and Legal Affairs for the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP). Horowitz also served as in-house counsel and program director for a long-term care facility with a pilot ventilator-dependent unit in New Jersey.
"I have been across the table from AGG attorneys for many years and always have been impressed with their knowledge and advocacy for their clients," Horowitz said. "AGG was a natural choice for me to continue my career when presented with this unique opportunity."
Glenn Hendrix, AGG's managing partner, said, "Alan's legal skills, government regulatory experience and work as a nurse and respiratory therapist give him a unique perspective on issues arising from the intersection of law, regulation and quality of care. He has been one of HHS's most visible attorneys on long-term care issues, having handled or overseen literally hundreds of enforcement actions involving skilled nursing facilities. He will be a tremendous resource for our clients."
Hedy Rubinger, chair of the Healthcare and Life Sciences Practice, said, "We are excited to have Alan join the AGG healthcare team. Alan's expertise as a leading government attorney will provide our clients with critical insights into the complicated statutes and regulations that govern them."
Horowitz is the second key addition to the Firm's Healthcare and Litigation practices in recent weeks. Sara M. Lord, who had been an award-winning federal prosecutor and the Healthcare Fraud Coordinator for the Northern District of New York, brings a wealth of experience in handling healthcare fraud matters.
