Neighborhood Health CEO Named a 2024 Washingtonian of the Year

Alexandria, VA – Congratulations to Neighborhood Health’s CEO Dr. Basim Khan for his selection as a 2024 Washingtonian of the Year by Washingtonian magazine – a much deserved recognition of his unwavering commitment to ensuring access to high-quality primary healthcare to all of our neighbors.

Growing up in Pakistan, Basim Khan grew frustrated by the notion of healthcare as a privilege. He saw impoverished communities suffering from treatable, even preventable ailments—but because they couldn’t pay for care, they couldn’t get better: “I realized that when I grew up, I not only wanted to be a doctor, but a doctor for the underserved.”

Khan, who was born in the US and moved back for college, thought he’d join Doctors Without Borders. But as he rotated through public hospitals during med school, he says, “I realized that here in the US—which at the time was a surprise for me—not everyone had access to healthcare.”
