Phil’s community efforts include serving as a member of the Board of Directors for The Chanda Plan Foundation and the President of his homeowners association. In the past, Phil has co-led continuing education sessions for nurses at the University of Colorado. He has also worked with the Risk Management Department and Dr. Richard Martinez at the University of Colorado Medical School. His work with the Medical school involved acquainting future surgeons with the valuable ethics model.
