Zahra Khan joined the Day Health team as a Project Associate in October 2021. She brings to the team a background in health communications, health promotion, and patient engagement.

Prior to joining Day Health Strategies, Zahra worked at the Muslim Community Health Center of Wisconsin (MCHC), where she served uninsured or underinsured refugee and immigrant communities. During her time at MCHC, she developed health education tools, programming, and resources in an effort to provide holistic care access, empower patients, and increase patient participation. In addition, she worked with immigrant families like her own at an immigration law firm in Illinois, where she worked primarily as a translator.

Zahra also brings an international perspective to the team, having attended global health seminars in Sao Paulo, Brazil, focused on improving communication strategies used within psychosocial community centers. Her experiences radically expanded her understanding of effective, equitable healthcare, and she now views healthcare policy development as essential to social justice. Of Kashmiri-descent, Zahra’s interests emerge from her complex ethno-cultural identity. She speaks English, Urdu, Hindi, Arabic, and Spanish, and is currently learning Mandarin.

Zahra holds an M.S. in Health Communication from Northwestern University, and a B.A. from Marquette University.

In her free time, she plans weddings and events, attends the occasional workout class, and spends time with her niece.
