- Board Member
Leigh Carroll is the Deputy Director of the homecare organizing team at SEIU Healthcare PA, where she leads field organizing of direct care workers who work through the state’s Medicaid-funded homecare services for elderly residents and people with disabilities.
Homecare workers in PA formed a union several years ago, have organized a powerful dues-paying membership base, and have successfully advocated for improvements. Leigh has worked with members to develop campaigns and deep member leadership that have resulted in unprecedented pay raises, PA’s first ever paid training program for homecare workers, multiple COVID bonuses and PPE payments, and increased visibility of caregivers at the state and national levels.
Prior to joining SEIU, Leigh studied her Masters in City Planning at MIT, and did health policy research at the National Academy of Medicine.
