summary:
A former Deputy Assistant Health and Human Services Secretary, Patrick Fagan examines the impact of family life and religious practice on the key areas of social policy: health, mental health, education crime and income.

Fagan has served as a legislative analyst for Sen. Dan Coats (R-IN) and, before becoming involved in public policy, was a child, family and marital therapist.

Fagan joined Heritage in 1994 and is the think tank's William H.G. FitzGerald Senior Research Fellow in Family and Cultural Issues. In 2001, his work earned him Heritage's prestigious Drs. W. Glenn and Rita Ricardo Campbell Award. It is given to the employee who delivers "an outstanding contribution to the analysis and promotion of the Free Society."

Fagan, a native of Ireland, earned his doctorate in social policy from University College Dublin and also received his training as a psychologist at the same university.
