PHL Health Advisors for Expert Advice and Guidance
To address the new needs of our customers, we have partnered with Dr. David Nash, Dean Emeritus of the Jefferson College of Population Health, to serve as the PHLCVB’s Chief Health Advisor by providing direct advice and guidance to meeting and event planners. Dr. Nash supports the PHLCVB by analyzing public health and safety reports, reviewing current public health guidelines and protocols, and making recommendations to meeting planner customers.
Dr. Nash also works closely with the PHL Health Advisors, a subcommittee of the PHLCVB’s Life Sciences division and its Nursing Leadership Committee—both comprised of experts from the world-renowned Philadelphia medical community. The PHL Health Advisors represent a wide range of expertise in fields like public health, infectious disease, medical research, and mental health among many others. The subcommittee serves as a trusted resource of accurate and timely medical information and local medical advancements in the fight against COVID-19.
