Known for blending data, storytelling, and clear decision pathways, Dr. Miller has strengthened pandemic early-warning systems, advanced equity-focused global health initiatives, and helped shape New York City’s COVID response—where a community-led strategy increased vaccine uptake among 4.2 million residents in underserved communities by 70% in the first year.
