About Us
The School of Health provides a home for scholars and students to work collaboratively across disciplines and across the university to address human health and wellbeing from various perspectives — science, health, medicine, policy, law, economics and the humanities — to achieve a deeper understanding of the interconnect threads through our most challenging issues of our time, and to find solutions.
The school reflects the ongoing, urgent need to focus our collective efforts on applied health research and on creating a more equitable, evidence-driven and values-based health care system that can withstand the enormous challenges facing the United States. It is this interdisciplinary spirit of discovery that will best support the needed evolution in health and health care.
