Kory London, MD is an Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University, with multiple academic foci. His main non-clinical roles are:

• Director of Clinical Operations for the Jefferson Methodist Hospital Emergency Department, helping guide and assure that high-quality care is being provided at the last remaining ED in Southeast Philadelphia.

Dr. London's academic passion is helping improve the hospital-based care for individuals who use drugs-a long-marginalized and underserved group. As the co-founder and current co-director of the Jefferson Addiction Multidisciplinary Service, Dr. London has helped lead the development of several ground-breaking projects, including novel substance withdrawal protocols, integration of peer recovery specialists (CRS) into hospital-based addiction care, delivery of naloxone and other harm-reduction tools from the hospital, and the nurturing of a less stigmatizing, patient-centered hospital ecosystem. His work has been the subject of multiple local and national grants and is supported by the philanthropic Stephen and Sandra Sheller Consult and Bridge Program.
