For more than 80 years, the Gillings School has been committed to groundbreaking research, exceptional teaching and effective practice. Our work supports preparedness for disease outbreaks and natural disasters, clean air and water and vibrant communities that foster healthy people and families.
Local and global public health are inextricably linked. Our work with climate and the environment acknowledges that contaminants in our air and water are not constrained by national borders. By focusing on practice, we ensure decision-makers benefit from evidence, and we support communities as they identify and respond to their unique health challenges. The insights we develop guide work with other communities around the world.
