Our mission is to improve individual, family, and community health in Arizona and beyond by advancing multidisciplinary public health policy, research, community partnerships, and education.
Our researchers and teachers come from the health professions, humanities, sciences, social sciences, business, and engineering. The Institute welcomes the affiliation of all kinds of health-related researchers, teachers, and health care practitioners. Please see the Affiliation page for details on benefits and eligibility.
