The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans announced today the appointment of Sachin Jain to the organization’s Board of Directors. Sachin, a 2004 Paul & Daisy Soros fellow, received his MD/MBA from Harvard University and is now the CEO of SCAN Group and SCAN Health Plan. With a background in medicine and healthcare management, the addition of Sachin promises to enhance the Fellowship’s mission to support outstanding immigrants and children of immigrants as they pursue higher education in the United States.
“Sachin Jain’s commitment to healthcare and his dedication to supporting immigrants align perfectly with our mission at the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships. His lived experience as a Fellow and his expertise will be invaluable as we continue to identify and empower the next generation of exceptional New American leaders,” Ms. Daisy Soros, the president of the Fellowship, explained.
The current Board of Directors includes Allison Binns (2003 Fellow), Eric Chung (2016 Fellow), Peter Georgescu, Paul Holdengräber, Ann Kirschner, Noel Lateef, Daisy M. Soros, Jeffrey Soros, and Peter Soros.
Sachin, a Harvard-trained physician and widely respected thought leader in the healthcare industry, has a remarkable track record in advocating for equity and accessibility in healthcare services. SCAN’s revenues top $4.8B and the organization serves more than 300,000 members. Since joining SCAN in 2020, Sachin has launched a range of new products—including SCAN Affirm (HMO), the first ever LGBTQ+ health plan product and SCAN Inspired (HMO), the first health plan designed specifically for women—and expanded its operations into Arizona, Nevada, Texas and New Mexico. SCAN has also launched four subsidiary medical groups intended to support seniors through the full range of inflection points in the aging process. In a little over three years, SCAN’s total revenues have grown by more than $1.5B.
His passion for innovation and his commitment to addressing societal challenges resonates with the ethos of the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships.
“I am deeply honored to join the Board of Directors of the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans. As the son of immigrants and as a 2004 Fellow, I am excited to contribute my experience and passion to an organization dedicated to empowering the next generation of leaders and innovators among immigrant communities,” Sachin explained. “I look forward to collaborating with my colleagues on the Board to continue the impactful work of supporting and fostering the incredible talents of New American scholars.”
The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans provides merit-based funding for New Americans, immigrants and children of immigrants, who are poised to make significant contributions to U.S. culture, society and academia.
