Alex and Eiman Jahangir are brothers, doctors, and two of Nashville’s most remarkable public servants.
Both are physicians at Vanderbilt. Alex is an orthopedic surgeon who led the city’s COVID-19 task force. Eiman is a cardiologist and lifelong space enthusiast who eventually got the chance to be an astronaut.
The sons of Iranian immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as preschoolers, the brothers once believed they’d never return to Nashville after leaving for college and medical school. But life had other plans. Today, the Jahangir brothers are raising their families here and are deeply woven into the fabric of the city.
