Priyanka Patel

Case Manager

I was born and raised in Westchester County and graduated from Cornell University in 2019, where I became interested in human rights and social justice through studying global health and inequality. Before starting medical school, I worked in Global Health Education at Weill Cornell Medicine, where I was exposed to influential leaders in these fields. I joined NYMCCHR because I want to serve the most vulnerable people in our community and create positive change that goes beyond conventional medical practice. I hope to maintain these values and continue to participate in human rights initiatives as a physician.
