Jeremy Jacob Nobel, MD, MPH

Lecturer on Global Health and Social Medicine

Jeremy Nobel, MD, MPH, Lecturer, joined the Center for Primary Care, where he teaches fellows in the InciteHealth program and advises the center on efforts related to primary care payment reform and practice redesign. 

He is the Founder and President of The Foundation for Art & Healing and its signature initiative Project UnLonely. He is also on the faculty of the Harvard Medical School and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, where his teaching and research activities focus on population health, social determinants of health, and the design and evaluation of health improvement intervention programs.

With the unique background and training required to bridge scientific and humanistic disciplines, he has contributed to significant explorations into how creative expression mitigates illness and enhances wellbeing. He has become a prominent advocate for creative engagement, ancillary to and integrated with traditional medical care, as a pathway to healing.

The UnLonely Project is in respone to the growing public health concern of social isolation and loneliness, the Foundation for Art & Healing launched Project UnLonely in 2016. The goal of this initiative is to broaden public awareness of the negative physical and mental health consequences of loneliness, which burdens a wide range of living conditions and circumstances. This national campaign raises awareness of the loneliness epidemic and empowers people and communities to connect with each other through the arts.  

To address the most urgent needs and areas with greatest potential impact, Project UnLonely has several domains to focus upon specific vulnerable population groups – including older adults, college students, employees, and individuals with marginalized identities.
