Prabhjot Singh, MD, PhD, (@prabhjotsinghNY) is Director of the Arnhold Institute for Global Health (@Arnholdinst) and Chair of the Department of Health System Design and Global Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, as well as Special Advisor for Strategy and Design at the Peterson Center for Healthcare.
In 2013, he co-founded the One Million Community Health Worker Campaign with Jeffrey Sachs, which is an initiative of the African Union and UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network. In 2015 he was invited to join the UN Broadband Commission’s Information and Communication Technologies working group to build scalable health platforms to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

Domestically, Singh was the founding technical advisor of City Health Works, a Harlem-based social enterprise that trains and manages locally hired health coaches to improve the outcomes and decrease the costs of care for high need patients. More recently, his practice transformation team at Mount Sinai Health System builds upon this experience by focusing upon the scalability and sustainability of population health care models. The Mount Sinai Health System is an active participant in the national 100 Million Healthier Lives Campaign, which bridges the gaps between healthcare system and neighborhood interests.
