Message from the Co-Founders
We believe having quality health care is a human right!
Since the dawn of organized human societies, people across space and time have tried various approaches to promote health and extend longevity by preventing early or untimely death. Throughout history, pandemics such as the Black Death and COVID-19 have shown us that having good health is more than the absence of illnesses. Macrosocial factors such as backgrounds, mass media, economics, political systems, the environment, and migration all play a role in shaping the health of a nation and its citizens. To tackle these seemingly intractable problems requires collaborative methods that transcend “disciplinary boundaries.”
The overarching mission of the Center of Population Sciences for Health Empowerment (C-PSHE) is to promote health access and reduce health disparities among all populations regardless of their demographic. We will accomplish this by participating in community-engaged scientific and operational research and practices and employing the principles and tools of population science.
In times of uncertainty, the guideposts for access to healthcare of a society need to be based on scientific leadership coupled with vigorous research. We aim to move that needle forward.
