At the Julia Jones Matthews School of Population and Public Health, we are training the next generation of public health professionals to approach complex issues from a population perspective, using evidence-based solutions to improve health outcomes for communities and individuals
While public health is the science and art of preventing disease, and prolonging and improving quality of life through organized efforts of communities, population health highlights significant health issues and addresses ways to allocate resources. Population health also works to overcome issues driving poor health outcomes through interdisciplinary approaches that connect practice to policy.
