The Office of Community Health is the home in the School of Medicine for informed, committed, and sustained community engagement in local health issues. We are developing an innovative national model to train future leaders in community health, disseminate community health scholarship, and enhance local health via community-academic partnerships.
Our commitments are to:
-
Build opportunities for substantive community engagement among medical, graduate and undergraduate students;
-
Support and develop faculty engagement in community health;
-
Promote the translation and dissemination of scholarly work on health issues affecting local communities; and
-
Respond to community-health related needs and inquiries from students, faculty, health professionals and members of the surrounding community.
The OCH was established in the Fall of 2005 with initial funding from the Dean's Office and the Valley Foundation.
