EnglishWhat is the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health website?
Updated
hsph.harvard.edu is the official website of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. It presents the school as a research and teaching institution whose stated purpose is to "improve health for every human" through research, education, and collaboration. The site is aimed at prospective and current students, researchers, public health professionals, and members of the public who want to follow the school's work.
What the site says about the school
The homepage frames the school around a single idea — "A world where everyone can thrive" — and describes its work in three connected areas:
- Research: "Research with real-world impact," with faculty and students working to improve health, prevent disease, and support well-being.
- Education: "Education with a global perspective," drawing on policymakers, scientists, clinicians, and peers with first-hand experience of public health challenges.
- Collaboration: Working with communities in Boston and around the world, described as pursuing "health, dignity, and justice for all."
