Aneri Pattani is a national correspondent with KHN, where she reports on a broad range of public health topics, with a focus on mental health and substance use.

She was a 2019 recipient of the Rosalynn Carter Fellowship for Mental Health Journalism. She graduated from Northeastern University in Boston.
