SPH THIS YEAR 2022

 

The Full Spectrum 

 

OF PUBLIC HEALTH. Climate, the planet, and health // Cities and health // Mental and behavioral health // Health inequities // Infectious diseases

 

Taking stock of the present, we find ourselves at a moment of learning; of reflection. We are also at a time of excitement, informed by our work advancing the future of public health. This is the work of all our faculty, staff, and students, informed by our vision as a school and guided by our strategic directions: cities and health; climate, the planet, and health; health inequities; infectious diseases; and mental and behavioral health. Our engagement with these focus areas helps support a vision of the future that is unstinting in its emphasis on what matters most for health. Our work on these strategic directions is the focus of this issue of SPH This Year.
