As Deputy Mayor of Health and Opportunity and Health

Donald F. Schwarz is a key leader in the new Nutter administration
and is helping to bring anticipated change and vision
to the city. This Critical Dialogue will allow participants
to learn about Dr. Schwarz’s vision for public
health along with the administration’s broader
views for the city. In his presentation, Dr. Schwarz
will lay out his goals and priorities for his first
year and discuss how the philanthropic and nonprofit
communities can work with the administration’s
vision for the future to improve the outlook for Philadelphia
and its citizens.
