Anand Parekh serves as the Chief Medical Advisor at the Bipartisan Policy Center where he utilizes his clinical and public health knowledge across various scopes of the organization. His leadership has been instrumental in addressing a myriad of policy issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the opioid crisis, obesity and nutrition, health and housing, domestic and global HIV/AIDS, business and public health collaboration, emergency preparedness, social isolation, rural health, and prescription drug costs. His tenure of a decade at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) further amplifies his expertise in these areas.

As a board-certified internal medicine physician, Parekh has a deep understanding of the complexities of the healthcare field. His insights have not been confined to his professional environment alone; he has made significant contributions to health discourse through extensive writings and public speaking engagements on a variety of health topics. In December 2019, he published his book "Prevention First: Policymaking for a Healthier America", further solidifying his credibility in the field.

Parekh's array of experiences and his ability to articulate complex health topics to diverse audiences have led to his participation in distinguished platforms like the Milken Institute. One of his notable sessions, "Harnessing the Power of Human Connection", speaks to his ability to relate health topics to broader societal issues, thereby making them more accessible and relatable to the public. His wide-ranging expertise and dedication to public health make him a valuable voice in the ongoing discourse around health policy and practices.
