Mission
- College of Health Professions
The
mission of the College is to promote human health
and development to allow healthy individuals and
families to live in safe and productive communities
and environmentally sustainable economies. This
mission requires of us and our students a vision of
just, secure and sustainable social, economic and
environmental systems, and is expected to undergo
continual evaluation and revision to achieve our
vision.
We
recognize that achieving this mission requires:
·
improving our understanding of health, disease and
disability and their social context,
·
increasing citizens’ understanding of health
problems and their environmental, social, and economic
causes,
·
expanding community and workplace opportunities for
promoting good health,
·
developing environmentally sound systems of
production and consumption,
·
exploring the fullest understanding of our region
defined by common political, social, ethnic, economic
and cultural boundaries
·
addressing the determinants of social and economic
disparities in our region,
·
maintaining a health care system that is effective
and compassionate, and promoting innovative government
policies to support human health and development. |
