Hello, everyone! My name is Krupa Patel, and I am excited to begin my journey with the Assuaged Foundation as a Public Health intern. With a Master’s degree in Public Health from the University of New Haven, I am eager to apply my knowledge and experiences to address complex public health issues and support meaningful change.

My professional journey as a Physician Assistant and Ayurvedic Doctor, coupled with my experiences in community health outreach and working alongside healthcare teams during the COVID-19 pandemic, has shaped my commitment to promoting health equity. I am passionate about designing impactful programs, educating communities, and supporting initiatives that address pressing public health challenges.

I look forward to expanding my research, project coordination, and community engagement expertise. I am driven by the belief that public health is not just about solving problems—it’s about meaningful public health change that begins with understanding the needs of individuals and communities and working collaboratively to create equitable and sustainable solutions.
