Alina Lodge Board of Trustees
I am proud to be the president of The Little Hill Foundation Board of Trustees, which is the leadership team for Alina Lodge and Haley House. In the upcoming year we will be working on strengthening our position on governance issues, updating our strategic plan and also updating student safety policies.
Our Clinical program is strong and is composed of highly accredited staff who are capable of handling the most difficult addiction cases, as well as treating underlying process addictions. Every year, our staff strives to provide the best treatment at the lowest cost to our students. We have succeeded! Alina Lodge has one of the lowest daily rates in the country, and our clinical team, led by Greg Varley, is known for the superior treatment they offer.
The Family Program, directed by Donna Pittala, is second to none. She teaches families how to interact and cope with their addicted loved one. In many cases, this is the key to lasting sobriety and healthy relationships.
Our fundraising goal for 2011 is 1.5 million for budget relief, scholarships and improvements to buildings and grounds. I am happy to report as of June, we are halfway to our goal. My gratitude goes out to all that contribute to this cause, which is so near and dear to my heart.
Respectfully,
Rita Cohen, President

Our Executive Director
In 1981, Michael Hornstein was a student at Alina Lodge. After having failed three prior treatment attempts elsewhere, he has enjoyed continual sobriety since graduating from the Alina Lodge program.
Michael was on our Board of Trustees for over 20 years and served as President of the Board twice. He worked for 25 years for the Miami Dade school system and successfully completed a most fulfilling career in June 2008. From 1985-2000, Michael was a part time group therapist for the Broward County Commission on Alcoholism, which is one of the DUI programs in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Michael brings with him his expertise in administration, counselling and teaching. His background, coupled with his vast knowledge of the inner workings of Alina Lodge, makes him an effective Executive Director.
