Raja Ramaswamy, MD
Physician Executive. Author. Public Health Advocate.
I am a physician executive working at the intersection of medicine, policy, and organizational leadership. I serve as Vice President and Physician Director of Health and Wellness at IU Health, one of the nation's largest health systems, where I lead workforce wellness strategy and employee health programs at scale. I write about health policy, workforce wellness, Medicaid, and the decisions shaping American health.
I am a contributing columnist for the Indianapolis Star and the Indiana Capital Chronicle, where I write about the decisions being made in Washington and Indianapolis that determine how people live and how long they live. I have authored over 100 peer-reviewed publications, spoken nationally on health and prevention, and co-written the book I wish I could hand every patient who walks out of my office.
YOU Are the New Prescription
The Book That Changes How You Think About Your Health
I wrote YOU Are the New Prescription with Dr. Rani Ramaswamy, an OB-GYN and menopause specialist. Together we bring over 30 years of combined clinical experience to a clear, science-based guide to lasting health, covering sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, and mindset. It is the book I wish I could hand every patient who walks out of my office.
"The book that made me rethink everything. Empowering, honest, and deeply human." "A bold, transformative wake-up call for modern wellness." "Finally, a health book that is practical, compassionate, and actually doable."
