Touro University Nevada has appointed David Marlon, PsyD, MBA, CPC, LADC-S, PRSS-S, to its advisory board council. Dr. Marlon is Co-founder and CEO of Vegas Stronger, a nonprofit providing evidence-based care to reduce homelessness and addiction.
“Nevada consistently ranks among the lowest in mental health outcomes, making it essential to prioritize care for the whole person,” says Dr. Patricia Salkin, Provost and Chief Academic Officer. “Dr. Marlon’s support in mental health education will generate a positive health impact for Nevada.”
A 37-year Las Vegas healthcare veteran, Dr. Marlon is former President of the Southern Nevada Association of Addiction Professionals and received the 2018 National Advocacy Award from NAADAC. He has served on boards for HELP of Southern Nevada, Las Vegas Rescue Mission, and Nevada Donor Network Foundation, and helped establish Mission High School, the nation’s first public recovery high school.
“I was inspired to join because of Touro Nevada’s commitment to educating the next generation of healthcare professionals,” Dr. Marlon said. “My goal is to bridge the gap between academia and clinical practice, share insights from the frontlines of behavioral health, and help prepare graduates who can transform communities.”
Dr. Marlon holds a bachelor’s in economics from SUNY, an MBA and master’s in counseling from UNLV, and a doctorate in psychology from Walden University.
