Families Fighting Flu Announces New Medical Advisor, Dr. Jeb Teichman
Dr. Jeb Teichman has joined Families Fighting Flu as a Medical Advisor. Dr. Teichman spent a majority of his career as a pediatrician before transitioning to managed care. He currently is the Chief Medical Officer for United Healthcare Community Plan of Kentucky.
Dr. Teichman understands the toll of flu not just from his work over the years with children and families, and now on the burden to our healthcare system, but from a deeply personal perspective. Dr. Teichman’s 29-year-old son Brent died from the flu in 2019.
As a Families Fighting Flu Medical Advisor, Dr. Teichman will support our mission and continue to share Brent’s story as a reminder of the importance of annual flu vaccination for everyone six months and older.
