What is the Institute for Social Public Health?
At the Institute for Social Public Health, we train the next generation of public health leaders. Graduate students learn how the intersections of social systems and social discourse shape health inequities. Being better equipped enables graduates to facilitate multifaceted and usable community-owned solutions.
