Stuart Butler PhD is a scholar in residence in Economic Studies at The Brookings Institution. He is also a visiting fellow and board member at the Convergence Center for Policy Resolution. Most recently his work centers on social determinants of health and aging.

Under Dr. Shah’s leadership, Kaiser Permanente standardized social health screenings now being delivered to a growing number of patients through a range of new modalities. He supported the development of a robust national network of community-based organizations working with Kaiser Permanente to deliver social services and other assistance to members. He provided oversight for the launch of the Kaiser Permanente Community Support Hub, a national support center dedicated to helping members meet their basic needs, and supported creation of the Kaiser Permanente Food Is Medicine Center of Excellence, which expands screenings for food insecurity, clinical nutrition education, and research to enhance food-based interventions in care delivery.
