Dr. Trivedi, President and CEO of Sheppard Pratt, is redefining mental healthcare on a national scale. His guidance has expanded the organization’s reach as the largest private, nonprofit provider of mental health, substance use, special education and social services in the nation. Responding to the country’s deepening mental health crisis, he spearheaded the redesign of Sheppard Pratt’s admissions and psychiatric urgent care, increasing efficiency and reducing emergency room reliance, which resulted in more than 10,000 evaluations in 2023, a 4,000-patient increase from the previous year. His strategic vision led to the opening of the Baltimore/Washington Campus, a 50-acre behavioral health hospital, and plans for a new children’s hospital to address the youth mental health crisis. He has also expanded school-based mental health services to more than 230 schools across the state of Maryland. Beyond direct care, Dr. Trivedi launched Sheppard Pratt Solutions, a division that helps hospitals nationwide develop high-quality behavioral health services at scale. He was named to the Baltimore Business Journal “Leaders in Healthcare” list in 2022 and Maryland Daily Record “Power Health Care” list in 2023.
