  • Summary

  • Ashwin Vasan, MD, PhD, is a primary care physician, epidemiologist, and public health expert dedicated to improving physical and mental health, social welfare, and public policy for marginalized communities. Early in his career, he worked with the nonprofit Partners in Health and the World Health Organization, focusing on combating the spread of HIV/AIDS in the U.S., Rwanda, Lesotho and Uganda.

    In 2021, Dr. Vasan was appointed commissioner of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. When we spoke with him at HLTH 2024 in Las Vegas, he had recently stepped down from this role. Our conversation covered his career achievements, his efforts to address the mental health crisis among children and youth in New York City, and his leadership in tackling the COVID-19 Omicron variant in the nation’s most densely populated city.
