With graduate degrees in public health, children’s librarianship, and medicine, Navsaria brings a unique skillset to his roles as physician, public health professional, and children’s health advocate. He is the founding medical director of Reach Out and Read Wisconsin, a nonprofit organization that helps integrate reading into pediatric practices, advise families about the importance of reading with their children, and share books that serve as a catalyst for healthy childhood development.
