 Global Health at UM SPH
"We will win far more hearts and minds, we will promote democracy far more effectively, by demonstrating that the richest nation in the world is also the most compassionate and generous, and that we care about our neighbors. And what better place to start than health?"
- UM SPH Dean Ken Warner, in a 2006 address to graduating students.
National borders are rapidly becoming less restrictive to the movement of people, products, toxins, and lifestyles. Now, more than ever before, public health professionals need to take a global view to analyze problems and promote successful interventions.
