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

“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.”
