*Cleveland-based [Nexus](https://app.clinicalterminal.com/hospital/373174), which combines bedside nursing, virtual nursing and technology for hospitals, has added three former health system CEOs to its advisory board, according to an Oct. 6 company news release cited by Becker's Hospital Review.*

The new advisers are [Michael Dowling](https://app.clinicalterminal.com/person/101561272), [Toby Cosgrove, MD](https://app.clinicalterminal.com/person/101667012), and [Richard Lofgren, MD](https://app.clinicalterminal.com/person/100020430). Dowling led Northwell Health as president and CEO for more than two decades and is now the New Hyde Park, N.Y.-based system's CEO emeritus.

The advisers will counsel Nexus leadership on health system strategy, clinical transformation and growth, the company said. Nexus plans to name additional advisory board members later in October.
