Award-winning health journalist
Freelance contributor to The New York Times and Scientific American
Aliyah Baruchin, MS, is a health journalist with over 20 years of experience. She's written for outlets like The New York Times and Scientific American, alongside writing and editing for nonprofits, hospitals, and universities.
Her work often focuses on disparities and inequities in all aspects of health, such as health status, access to care, diagnostics, treatment, and outcomes. This lens includes a focus on social determinants of health. How and where we are born, grow up, study, play, and work affect our health throughout our lifetime. Her subjects are wide-ranging and include asthma rates in children in the Bronx, prostate cancer rates and protocols for Black men, racial disparities in Alzheimer’s assessments, and a feature on epilepsy care in Freetown, Sierra Leone, for The New York Times. Her stories have won awards from the International Bureau for Epilepsy/UCB and the Association of Health Care Journalists.
Aliyah received her master’s degree in journalism from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, and her bachelor’s in English from Yale University. In 2008, she was a Kaiser Family Foundation Fellow in Health Media.
