Public Health Magazine - Fall 2024 

Public Health Magazine cover

Impact Starts with Communities 

The stories in this magazine demonstrate that health equity begins with co-creating questions and solutions with the communities we serve. By partnering early and continuing those partnerships at every stage of our work, we ensure the methods we apply, research we conduct, and practices we implement support the health of people locally and globally. This community-based approach — from ideas to impact — is a lasting tradition of our School that we're proud to continue and expand.
