Krista Lepper

Krista Lepper first came to PHS as a Post-Graduate Legal Fellow, straight from Brooklyn Law School in 2009. After working through a variety of legal roles at PHS, Krista was promoted to General Counsel and Vice President of Legal Affairs. In this new role, she provides counsel to the Senior Leadership Team, Board, and staff; addresses nonprofit governance and ethical issues; oversees PHS’ contracting and compliance work; and engages in and supports employee relations. Over the past ten years at PHS, Krista has completely revamped PHS’ HIPAA program, engaged with numerous outside counsel on myriad contracting and other transactional issues and, most importantly, gotten to know her PHS colleagues. Krista has always had an interest in public health, working at Kaiser Permanent’s Division of Research prior to attending law school. Access to healthcare and health equity are two issues she and PHS are committed to fighting for.
