Dr. Shantanu Agrawal: Most Influential Clinical Executives 2025

Agrawal drives the whole health strategy — including medical policy and clinical quality — for Elevance Health, which serves more than 110 million people through its portfolio of companies. He has co-authored studies supporting efforts between payers and providers to further patient safety through value-based care models and has spoken about the importance of approaches that consider and improve physical, behavioral and social factors influencing overall health. Under his leadership, Elevance Health earlier this year collaborated with HealthBegins to offer insights to providers, managed care plans and community organizations via an initiative known as the Social Needs Investment Lab.
