Ankur Patel

Ankur's nursing background has shown him that health and sustainability are deeply connected: strong communities depend on equitable health systems, meaningful work opportunities, and an environment that can sustain us for generations to come. Ankur is passionate about two priorities he sees as inseparable: creating pathways for youth to thrive in meaningful employment and advancing thoughtful environmental adaptation. Both are urgent challenges of our time and are being spearheaded by YCCBC. He has had the opportunity to contribute to health policy and governance from a nursing perspective at both domestic and global levels, and he is excited to work with YCCBC to help secure a sustainable future.
