The mission of the School of Health and Environment 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.
