Legal Hospice names new ED
Michelle Moos Michelle Moos takes the reins at longtime HIV agency and hopes to expand agency’s reach DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writertaffet@dallasvoice.com Legal Hospice of Texas Executive Director Michelle Moos said she took the position as director of the agency partly because she saw it as an opportunity to reinvent how the organization is seen in the community.
And while certain funding sources restrict where LHT can offer its services, “Nobody else is doing what we do,” she said. Legal Hospice has been helping people with HIV with legal problems — such as obtaining social security disability, evictions and discrimination — since 1989.
That mission has been expanded to helping not just those with HIV, but people with terminal illnesses, also. Those conditions include Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis and some cancers.
Last year, after Tony Lokash left his position as the agency’s executive director, longtime employee Pete Flores returned as interim ED.
