About us
IMAGINE A WORLD WHERE EVERY COMMUNITY has a Passion, Purpose, and Pathway for a Healthier Life. Public health is about building bridges and bringing people together. We look at events, situations, and circumstances that are impacting health across their community and beyond and think, “What can I do to make a positive change?” Many want to help people but sometimes are not sure where to start. Public Health is the best place to start! Public health is the fulfillment of society’s interest in being healthy. Public health’s mission is to leave the world a healthier place for the next generation. This mission is met through our three core functions: assessment, assurance, and policy development. Furthermore, public health prevents disease, prolongs life, and promotes health for everyone. Our team of public health ambassadors and champions are all making positive, equitable, and redefining change in order to make our communities healthier, safer, and stronger. Ready to build a healthier world with us by building bridges? Then you belong here! Our vision is catalyzing positive change for public health. Our mission is developing public health leaders, conduct innovative and impactful research, and collaborate with partners to improve public health in Kentucky and beyond.

Huge congrats to our incredible Public Health students — Ashley Hardin, Morgan Wallace, and Bre Higa-Alexander — on completing the Deans' Interprofessional Honors Colloquium (DIHC) on Friday! The DIHC brings students from diverse fields—including public health, pharmacy, dentistry, physical therapy, chaplaincy, medicine, and more—together for a unique, project-based curriculum. Students participate in a project-based curriculum consisting of five sessions that included seminar instruction blended with small team interprofessional project development. Teams consider how collaborative practice can positively influence a health concern identified by the course faculty each year. This year the teams focused on trauma informed care.
