I’ll now be able to devote more of my time to leading our research and development activities
– George Gaitanos
Dr Ursula Levine and Dr Jörg Hummen have been appointed new medical directors at the Chenot Palace Weggis in Switzerland.
They collectively bring more than 45 years of holistic diagnostic and treatment experience to their new roles.
Levine and Hummen’s primary responsibilities will be to oversee the internal and external operation of the Chenot Palace Weggis medical spa.
Medical health and wellness retreat operator, Chenot Group, has named Dr Ursula Levine and Dr Jörg Hummen as new medical directors at its Chenot Palace Weggis destination in Switzerland.

Chenot says the two new appointments will help strengthen the group’s research and development capabilities and will drive ongoing innovation in the delivery of the signature Chenot Method and treatments.

Levine – formerly head of medical services at Lanserhof at the Arts Club in London – and Hummen will also work closely with Chenot’s chief scientific and operating officer, Dr George Gaitanos.

The move is designed to support Gaitanos as he works to elevate and enhance the Chenot Method with new innovations.

The two professionals' primary responsibility will be to oversee the internal and external operation of the Chenot Palace Weggis medical spa.

Gaitanos said: “As a society, we’ve entered a new era with increased focus on the science of ageing. I’m delighted that Ursula and Jörg are joining us in our pioneering health and wellness work.

“With their support, I’ll now be able to devote more of my time to leading our research and development activities.

“These are two clinicians who share our fundamental beliefs and vision for health and wellness, while both having extensive experience and an inspirational approach to leading people and working with guests on their journeys.”

Chenot says Levine and Hummen are leaders with a strategic approach to integrated health. They collectively bring more than 45 years of holistic diagnostic and treatment experience to their roles.
