Dr. Palak Raval-Nelson: A Conversation with Philadelphia's Health Commissioner

Join us for a special National Public Health Week event featuring Dr. Palak Raval-Nelson (PhD ’04, MPH ’99), Health Commissioner for the City of Philadelphia and a proud Temple University alum.

Dr. Raval-Nelson will share insights into the city’s top public health priorities, the critical issues the Philadelphia Department of Public Health is tackling, and how her team is navigating policy changes from Washington, D.C. She will also discuss ways for Temple students to get involved in public health initiatives across the city—whether through research, advocacy, or hands-on community engagement.

This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from a leading public health expert shaping the future of Philadelphia’s health landscape. Don't miss your chance to be part of the conversation and discover how you can contribute to the health and well-being of our city.
