When Michael Jackson died of a drug overdose in 2009, his doctors – panicked by the coming investigation – called Harry Nelson. Over the past 15 years, this pattern was repeated in one deadly celebrity overdose after another.

Doctors turn to Nelson because he is the leading legal expert on prescribing practices, addiction, and the interrelated issues around standards of care in medical care. He has become known for turning healthcare safety disasters into learning opportunities out of which safer, better healthcare can emerge.

As a consequence, government regulator and policy makers have turned to Nelson, the founder of L.A.’s largest healthcare firm, Nelson Hardiman, to advise on most sensitive and challenging emerging health policy issues.

Doctors turn to Nelson because he is the leading legal expert on prescribing practices, addiction, and the interrelated issues around standards of care in medical care. He has become known for turning healthcare safety disasters into learning opportunities out of which safer, better healthcare can emerge.

As a consequence, government regulator and policy makers have turned to Nelson, the founder of L.A.’s largest healthcare firm, Nelson Hardiman, to advise on most sensitive and challenging emerging health policy issues. He was one of the first lawyers in the country to develop a framework for compliance in cannabis, helping to shape California law and pushing for expanded clinical research on other plant-based controlled substances, and continues to play a leading role in the expansion of telehealth and machine learning in medicine.

Nelson has also played a key role in education and advocacy, including his leadership of the Behavioral Health Association of Providers, sharing insights on evolving challenges with 30,000+ subscribers and federal and state policy polickymakers.

His latest book, The United States of Opioids: A Prescription for Liberating a Nation in Pain, published by Forbes with a Foreword by Lisa Marie Presley, shares the story of Harry’s deep dive into opioid crisis response, and lays out an essential understanding of the interwoven crises of pain, addiction, and overdose deaths – and the first comprehensive plan for addressing the crisis at both a policy and grassroots level. The book is Nelson’s second, following his co-authoring of From ObamaCare to Trumpcare: Why You Should Care (2017), an analysis of America’s healthcare policy challenges.
Nelson is a leading expert on America’s healthcare future and is frequently called on to make sense of the most complex aspects of our healthcare system, delivering valuable insights for parents, consumers, government, the healthcare industry. ...more
