In addition to our governing board, we actively engage with our two advisory councils. MFN’s Caduceus Council is our Next Gen Physician Board who meets throughout the year to advise on issues impacting physicians in training, representing training programs and institutions throughout the Nashville area. Our PAN Patient Advisory Council meets throughout the year to provide important insights into the patient experience within the Project Access Nashville Specialty Care program. We are thankful for these important groups in supporting the growth and expansion of our work.
