Arun Lakshman Singh, MD

Arun Singh, MD, received his bachelor's degree in physiology and neurobiology at the University of Connecticut in Mansfield and received his medical degree from Saba University School of Medicine in Saba. His postgraduate training includes completion of a pediatric residency at the University of Buffalo School of Medicine in Buffalo, New York, a pediatric critical care fellowship at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, and a hospice and palliative medicine fellowship at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore.

Dr. Singh serves as the medical director for the Division of Pediatric Supportive (Palliative) Care for Prisma Health in the Upstate region of South Carolina. He is an adjunct faculty member for pediatric palliative care clinical rotations for University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville medical students and residents, and for Spartanburg Regional Healthcare and University of South Carolina School of Medicine Columbia Hospice and Palliative Care fellows. Singh is board certified in pediatrics, hospice and palliative medicine and as a hospice medical director.

Singh’s clinical time is spent in providing inpatient palliative care consultation services to pediatric patients within Prisma Health Children's Hospital–Upstate, as well adult patients with chronic, complex conditions of childhood within Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital. His team provides perinatal palliative care to high-risk obstetric patients whose pregnancy has been complicated by a challenging and at times lethal fetal diagnosis. In addition, he is one of the four physicians at the Ferlauto Center for Complex Pediatric Care—a unique, interdisciplinary pediatric clinic dedicated to pediatric patients with a high-degree of medical complexity.

Dr. Singh recognizes that a child’s chronic health issues impacts not only them, but also their family, friends and community. He firmly believes that palliative care can provide patient/family-centered care from the time of diagnosis, throughout treatment and as a condition evolves. He enjoys spending time with his family, friends and King – a golden retriever mixed pup that serves as a facility dog for the Pediatric Supportive Care team.
