“The opioid epidemic is among the top crises we face as a nation today and our CTCs are essential in helping those suffering from their addictions,” said John Hollinsworth. “Nasser brings unrivaled qualifications to this position. He has successfully managed and grown multi-site, healthcare delivery networks. He understands that our people are our most important asset. His experience in process improvement, innovative patient care, and network expansion will serve this business line well in the years to come.”

Dr. Khan joins Acadia from his most recent role as Senior Vice President, Operations at Shields Health Solutions, a national provider of specialty pharmacy services to health systems and a subsidiary of Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. Prior to Shields, Nasser served as Head of Program & Chief Medical Officer at Biograph Inc., a healthcare technology company. He also held a series of progressive operational leadership roles at DaVita, Inc. as Division Vice President of Hospital Services, Regional Operations Director, and Director of Strategy & Special Projects. Early in his career, Nasser spent time as an Engagement Manager at McKinsey & Company, a leading global consulting firm.

Dr. Khan holds a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.), a Master of Medical Science (M.M.S.) and a Bachelor of Arts in Human Biology from Brown University where he graduated magna cum laude. He completed his residency in internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. He maintains an active medical license and is board certified in internal medicine.

“Throughout my career, I have been drawn to areas where I can use my experience and medical expertise for the greatest good,” said Dr. Khan. “We are facing a public health emergency. Never in our country’s history have so many of our citizens – our family members, friends, co-workers and neighbors – been plagued by addiction. The services and support that our CTCs provide their local communities literally change lives every day. Working with our exceptional team, my focus will be on supporting our caregivers in delivering compassionate care and driving best-in-class clinical outcomes while expanding our network to help other communities in dire need.”
