Our vision, mission and values are the bedrock of our school.

They direct our strategic planning, shape key performance goals, and serve as reminders for why we continue to seek bold solutions for complex problems in the field of public health.

Our vision: Health without boundaries.

We believe that a world in which there are no caveats or conditions on who can have good health is within our reach.

Our mission: Changing the culture of health through excellence in graduate education, research and engagement.

To achieve a world in which health has no boundaries, we must first shift the way people—from the communities around us to the healthcare industry to decision-makers in government—think about, and act on, matters relating to health.

Our values: Collaborate, Lead, Transform, Diversify.

• Collaborate: A charge to seek out new perspectives, to listen as much as we talk, and to build authentic, sustainable relationships.
• Lead: A pledge to march on the front lines of progress with passion, tenacity, and a strong sense of direction.       
• Transform: A vow to invest our time, effort and resources in challenging, improving—and when necessary—the complete rebuilding of programs and systems that do not serve us all.
• Community: A commitment to representation, health equity, and accountability.
